Hi there - back in the Amiga fold - Hoo hoody hoo!!

'sfunny - the US equivalent of the "car boot sale" is probably the local Flea Market.  The used computer sales there are almost exclusively '286 to Pentium-I machines.  Occassionally an Apple II or C64 gets pitched in there.

The thrift stores 'round here are so dirty (physically, everything inside is grimy) I can't bring myself to go in.

I guess if I ever wanted a classic Amiga I'd have to pay the exhorbitant prices charged by online stores (and hope the damn thing works).

Or maybe I'll just keep usin' WinUAE

We also have a lot of 'charity shops' set up in every high Street I have about 30 within a couple of miles. They are great for old games on all sorts of platforms. Not sure if you get them in the US? They always have two 70+ ladies pricing things up at 25 pence talking about internal investigations at the hospital and what carried off their dear departed husbands.

Yeah, the Salvation Army and Goodwill stores are probably the equivalent; the local one down by me is pretty drab; the last thing in there they had that caught my eye was an old Thrustmaster joystick for $2.99; Felt like the vertical axis was broken, though.  That and a trio of PC keyboards with AT style plugs that looked like they'd been buried in garbage for about a month...didn't even physically touch 'em...
