You should look at this:

You just need a US voltage power supply... if youve got an old A500/600/1200 power supply it will work. I use my old A500 power supply, which is actually better than the original A1200 power supply. You can find these on ebay or ask people here... should be cheap. Just get the Amiga from there with no power supply. Also recommend no hard drive, as a 4gig drive on ebay will cost you under 10 bucks. Just get the computer, the OS 3.1 install floppies (if you dont have these already) and optionally a RAM expander (if you plan to get an accelerator, skip this... if not, its reccomended).

A US power supply will work on a European Amiga. The PSUs all convert to the same voltage.

The 1200s on AmigaKit are expensive, but many (if not almost all) the 1200s on ebay are substantially more expensive and come with no guarantees and often in worse shape. If you can find one from a forum member and set up a trade, that is likely to be cheaper, but its not as easy to make happen. Given the choice between ebay and AmigaKit and waiting god knows how long for someone to offer you one on a forum... well, consider you options. Maybe you'll get lucky with your post or find someone who doesnt know what theyre doing putting a 1200 on ebay for $135 buy-it-now. AmigaKit is reasonably priced (damn cheap compared to ebay) and offers a guarantee you wont get from ebay.

I like the Compact Flash adapters... there are ethernet cards that work on the 1200 for under 30 bucks too.

I think they have a pretty big inventory and are unlikely to sell out. Refurbished I think means they clean it up (as much as possible) and probably replace any minor broken bits like missing keys etc.

You should put empty cases from the 1200s you towerize in your catalog, for those of us who like the original plastic cases and want to rehouse their 1200s in nicer original cases. My 1200 case has no yellowing at all and looks nice, but it has a few cracks around the edges and several of the screw holes are stripped.

The one I got was a 1D1, but I think they just send what they have in stock. Their web catalog doesn't indicate any particular version.
