Hello Folks,

Probably a stupid question, does anyone know if Softhut is still doing business? The page never got updated much in the first place, but, they were still around for a long time.

If not, there isn't any chance that someone knows a place where you could purchase an A4000T?

Thanks,
Mike

I just talked to the guy on the phone last week.  He's still there, but its definitely not a full-time gig, as trekiej mentioned.  As for the A4000T, doubt that he has any.  Best bet is the ebay.

Also be sure to check your local thrift stores and flea markets. I haven't been to a flea market in years where there wasn't at least some variety of Amiga for a lot less than you could pick it up on Ebay or from a "collector". When I lived in Orlando there was a big thrift store that had a couple A1000s, A2000s, and a box of A500s for $5 apiece.

What the F***!  Where are those places up here?! :madashell:

I'm pretty sure that the Goodwill employees have a computer set up in their receiving section to look up thrift items on ebay as they come in the store.  There is NOTHING of quality or value at Goodwill these days.

At thrift stores I've found the Vectrexes (only one, actually) and the Colecovisions ($2.98) and the various C64/C128s, but my favorite finds were probably the $20 SX-64 and the $20 C128D back in the 90s.

My favorite yard sale finds were probably the massive Intellivision collection I got for $30 (just sold) and the Bally Astrocade for $11.



..and that pic doesn't even cover it all!

I officially hate you now :lol:

I emailed them last week looking for a GVP 4060. Joe answered right away, in case anyone else was wondering they're all out, but trying to get more.

yeah, me too.  Evidently the guy making them had some family issues.

Join the club!

That is a great collection of the Imagic games, of which most didn't work on the intellivision 2.
