If it has a scandoubler then it's worth $50.  If it's just a cable adapter with a buffer chip of some sort then it's worth maybe $10-$15 and could easily be made yourself using readily available components.

The composite out on the Amiga 1200 accepts a lot of interference from the rest of the Amiga circuitry.  Also 800x600 60Hz is not possible on the Amiga graphics chipset AFAIK, try NTSC 640x200 non-interlaced and see if that works right on the scandoubler.  If you're using PAL 640x256 that might be why the monitor is having trouble maintaining a sync.  Some systems don't like a 50 Hz display resolution.
