Hello all!
My first post ever .

I still have 2 C64s...always loved it!
Never had the amiga though.
A local is selling this for $250:


What do you guys think?

If the A2000 with GVP is in working order and has no perm battery damage it's worth the $250.  With 2 x 1084 monitors that makes it a good deal. you can use one for your C64 if you can source a C64 Y/C monitor cable.

Amiga to 1084 video cables aren't impossible to find. But if he can find one even better.  
Originally A2000s came out with a NiCad rechargeable battery which was (prone) to leaking. You'd be very lucky to find one now that still has an original battery that hasn't leaked. If the battery has been removed and there is no PERManent damage you're in good order.  The question to ask is "Is the battery still present and is there any battery damage to the motherboard." The machine will run fine without a battery. It just won't keep time/date. Other than that if he is going to open it up to check he may as well advise the Revision number of the MB. V6.1, 6.2 or 6.5 had the least quirks.
