Well deals can be had, I recently got a very nice shape NTSC A1200 with monitor, Blizzard 1230 IV, external floppy and printer for $20 on Craigs List!! But I did pay $170 for a A1200 a few years back on the rip off bay. All I know is that NTSC units fetch a lot more than PAL units, so unless you are in a hurry wait it out and check CL or other places, you might get lucky. Good luck.
