1200 accelerators, whats the best bang for the buck these days?

@adonay: er, well, on the eBay I had to pay £70 (i think it was) for my Blizz 1220/8mb about 5 weeks ago. That's almost the average price a Blizzard 1230 was going for this time last year. Last time I looked (again, about 5 weeks back) 1230s were going for £150-£170. I actually sold my 030 for £170. God only knows how much 060s are selling for now.

But yeah, having had the entire range of accelerators, I would recommend a 030 - all considered. Especially since you will have the Sam to cover higher Amiga performance requirements.

Unless, of course, you are into modern Amiga demoscene productions. In which case, a 060 is almost essential.

Why did you feel it necessary to bring that sour grape over into this discussion?

I've already been over this with Red, I FIRST offered my card for £105 over at AmiBay - in full knowledge that I could have probably sold it for at least £150. It didn't sell there for over a week (close to two, iirc). I wouldn't have minded selling it cheaper to any of the guys there.

Same goes for my copy of Ralph Babbel's Amiga Guru Book (one of the rarest and most sort after books in the Amiga community). I sold that at cost to a guy who spotted my add on Amibay, which I posted along with the card.

I've sold MANY of my items at cost. It's just sometimes easier to sell on eBay.

And as I continually have to keep repeating, the issue with Red had NOTHING to do with his prices or him selling items on eBay.
