Really?  ...  What's an NTSC motherboard worth these days?


The problem is FINDING one. An NTSC A600 will probably fetch a good hundred to two hundred USD, but they are very hard to find. I would have to estimate for every NTSC A 600 that exists, there are probably 50- 100 PAL units (if not more).
From what I understand it is like the A1000 over in Europe. Here in North America, they are quite plentiful and very easy to get, but I understand that is not the case over there.
I would have to argue that the least popular Amiga, depends on the region of the world they are in. Here in Canada, the A2000 seems to be the least popular and most available unit (other than the A500). I, for the life of me, can't understand why someone would even consider taking an A500 over an A2000, but there you go.

Make me an offer if you'd like one.  For $200 plus shipping I'd sell it in a hot minute!

Anyone at AmiWest could save delivery fees!

Oh, I got one already Paid $100 for it. But the last few that went up on Ebay.ca went for about $200 usd. I don't even want to mention the one from Quebec that had the accelerator in it. IIRC that one went for 280-300.

Rare as hens teeth here, even really bad banged up PAL examples fetch astronomical ammounts of "£'s". It may be genesis but it isn't worth that much if you ask me as it is so limited to upgrades.

 Its funny, I say that about the A500 here. Any "real" upgrade other than the 501 ram expansion is so outrageously priced, it make you wonder why the thing is so popular. I ordered a few PAL A600 from the UK, dropped a 3.1 ROM and a CF card inside. I use the North American power supply and the unit has more use than any A500's I have.
I really am confused when people say the A500 has so many "upgrades" because, obviously they are just not available at all in North America for a decent price.
Infact, the A1000 is so much easier to find upgrades for than the A500. (in Canada anyway).
