I hate to say it Gary, but you might not luck out and get a 1200 for $200. I could be wrong and did just remember that someone was selling one on eBay for just over $100 with a 1 GB HD.
I got a tower with a 20 GB HD, an 030 at 50MHz accelerator and 32 MB Fast RAM for $375 plus shipping. I did the same thing you did and looked up the prices on AmigaKit. If you can wait a bit, you might find something, as I did. Otherwise, buying from AmigaKit is not a bad option.
BTW: had I known, I might have sold you my A500.
