I too am looking for A3000's, A4000's and A1200's for $100 or less. All_day_long I've got *that* kind of money. Especially for CIB examples  :laughing:

Craigslist maybe. But for that kind of dough, you're realistically going to be in the A2000 range. An excellent computer to be sure, but a lot of people don't care for how large they are and as a result, you can typically find better deals on 'em. A500's seem to be getting more expensive these days for whatever reason.

I'm surprised no one else took a stab at a price guide for the guy:

A500 - $35-$100
A1200 - $150-$300
A2000 - $free-$300
A3000 - $200-$400
A4000 - $250-$500

...depending on various things such as configs and cosmetic shape to name a couple.

The monitor I'm getting locally is actually a Commodore 1080 or 1081. Those can take PAL signals, can't they?
Well, they won't roll or display the wrong colors if that's what you mean but they will chop off a small portion of the bottom of the screen. You need a 1084 or better in order to display PAL images proper. Plus, the 1084's offer up more picture adjustment options, which are pretty invaluable for switching between modes really. Commodore must have figured nobody would be swapping discs to and fro the pond when the A1000 and 1080's rolled out.
