WANTED: Amiga 1200, 4000, or 3000
« on: February 12, 2006, 06:18:18 PM »
I'm looking to buy one of the above systems, but I am not having much luck on ebay.  It looks like slim pickings, and when there is something available, it usually is either at an exorbitant price point or in such horrid condition that it just doesn't seem worth it.

If anyone can point me in a good direction, that would be welcome.  I should have held on to that 25MHz A3000 I had back in 98... but I got sucked into the PC world and didn;t think beofre I sold it.

I'm in the US, and I just came across the AmigaKit website prior to seeing these replies.  I'll definately check that out for a NOS A1200!

Well, I just won an A3000 on ebay.  I was very torn as the seller was very slow in putting up a picture of the battery (even though I was an incessant nag for more pictures) and didn't put any information as to the processor or RAM configuration.  He did indicate, along with the "fuzzy" picture (ironic, isn't it) that there doesn't seem to be any corrosion.  The description also indicates it boots to a 1.3 screen which I find strange since the A3000 never came with 1.3 that I know of, but it could just be that 1.3 is installed on the HD or that's the floppy he booted with.

So, I am taking a leap of faith on this one for sure...

I also won an auction for 2 A500's

So I'm sure I'll have a lot to do in the next few weeks...
