WTS A1200 - what price range?
« on: October 10, 2009, 05:50:16 AM »
Hi. I've got an Amiga 1200, with some kind of '030 accelerator in it, slightly yellowed case, that I want to see go to a good home.
 
(I'll try to figure out what its exact stats are over the next couple of days)
 
I'm an Atarian at heart, and dabbled slightly with Amiga stuff over the years. I've had an A1000, 2000, and 2 1200's. I bought this one off Ebay a few years ago with the idea of fixing it up, but honestly, all my time goes to my Atari computers.
 
I've always like the Amiga's - good machines. So I really hate to see this one set stored away in a closet.
 
I have no idea what A1200's go for these days. IIRC, I paid $250 for this one. Someone told me that they thought their prices had not held up too well, compared to Atari Falcons, TT's and STacy's.
 
So my question is, what is a reasonable starting out price to ask?
 
Thanks everyone.

A working 1200 with an 030 Accelerator should get you at least $250 if you want to do eBay. I wouldn't ask for that here though. I wish more people would just "hook each other up" in this hobby instead of the price wars that eBay generates.

I understand. Thanks for the reply.
 
PS Hey, a fellow SysOp! Nice to see people still keeping the BBS
scene alive. :)

I am having trouble getting on your board. Get strange characters after each keypress.

Hmm, what software are you using to try to access it? I'm not sure about Amiga users, but most Windows people use a DOS prompt or Hyperterminal. Under Linux, I use the shell/konsole, and with Atari there are a couple of apps that work.

Full text and ANSI is supported. Be careful in your preferences about how you have full duplex and half duplex set.

Let me know if you still can't get it to work, I'll help any way I can. :)
