 I would estimate my cost for my similar A1200 (same processor) with all the extras to be a round $475US.   Power to the seller.

I would say that is a bit on the low side. If you get one from AmigaKit (refurbished, not new) the IDE split/fix (even a cheap one) you are looking at about $200 USD. Any accelorator goes for between 300-350 these days. I would suspect a new Amiga user, in order to get a "Compete" package would spend close to $700 (with shipping) to get all of that gear.
I got mine from AmigaKit, and with the Indivision and shipping and taxes (with an 80 gig HD and OS 3.1) cost me close to $530 Canadian. Add that processor card, and it brings it well of $700. I still have to get an IDE Express card and I want to get a Co-Processor (another $200), Plus I have on route a network card and a Easy ADF package. By the end of the year, I will have spent Close to a grand if not more on mine.And that JUST my 1200.

'030 accelerators can be had in the $100 range, $300-$350 would get you an '060.

Where do you find '030 Accelerators for $100 these days? Not on e-bay they go for at least $300- I seach everyday. I think this one is a '50 mhz though, Even Softhuts Typhoons were close to $200 IIRC.
'060 are tons more.IF you can find them.

I'd check my prescription if I were you: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290326184655

I paid $350 for my '060, and I also just recently sold one in that range on eBay.


You have to remember that We can not see a lot of auctions that refuse to ship to Canada (or out of the US). They are blocked. But that one is very rare. But you are "special" if you can find them.

Well, I give up, We can go around in circles all day long, and get nowhere.
I still say it is a excelent deal and worth every penny for a Complete system, But then I remember "Which" fourm I am posting on, and the opinions of more than a few Cheap A**'S here. LOL
