Wanted: A500 hard drive unit

[TjLaZer]

Well, even if I don't find anything for the price I'm looking to pay I'm willing to at least try. I picked up my 500, an A520 modulator, an A-Max emulator unit, and a bunch of software for $25 from a guy on Craigslist. So I've already been successful with Craigslist, and you can bet that I will continue to try and find better prices, where ever I can.

You can actually get some deals on CL!  I got a A1200 setup loaded with BliZZard 1230 IV card, external Floppy, monitor etc for $20!  Also got a Free A2000, and $10 A500.  My recent deal was a FREE A4000 desktop!

But if you are not patient and can't wait 2-5 years for deals like the above, ebay is your friend.

Also you state you don't want or need a 2GB HD.  Fine.  Would you rather pay $50+ for a 500MB HD or $10 for a 2GB HD?  

I installed a 1GB SCSI HD in my A590 and it runs great.  I got the huge 1GB HD for FREE.

I think you were failing to see the obvious points that people were trying to make.

You talking to me?  I am trying to be helpful man!  You need to grow up, that's what I see.

I think people were trying to be helpful.  So what you expect is if nobody has a cheap A500 HD (that is worth more than $100 as you now know) nobody should of replied to this post?  Fair enough.  But I think we were all trying to communicate and be helpful, not argue or bash you.  You are just NOT going to find a descent Amiga 500 hard drive under $100.  Thats the bottom line.  Those are highly collectible.

Dude, don't be silly! That's like saying that old Babe Ruth rookie year baseball cards are worth more than a few bucks. He hasn't even played baseball in years, much less been a rookie!

Look like it or not, an Amiga 500 external Hard Disk is worth more than your Dad's old 486 Hard Disk or even a modern SATA HD!  Amiga computers are highly collectible and fetch a lot these days.  It doesn't matter that it came out the year you were born!!  :roflmao:  It's AMIGA!  :smack:

People need to remember that even though it's old computer "junk", it's worth a lot to most Amiga "Enthusiasts".  If you are on this board you should know this...
