Rough pricing of my a1200

[Franko]

You'd make more selling them all separately the Apollo alone would fetch over £200 here in the UK...

I've noticed on ebay folk selling complete A1200 systems never get the price they're looking for and often re-list the parts separately after they fail to sell first time as a system, with the result being often hundreds more pounds than they'd have got for the complete system if it had sold...

[Franko]

I'd think $500, maybe a little less for the whole package, is in the ballpark in this economy.

I bet you're going to want to find a local buyer though with all that classic goodness. People often get turned off by the cost of shipping these days, especially on frivolous stuff like bulk floppy disks. Or they'll simply tell you to keep the disks, but send the hardware.   :lol:

And yeah, not just for shipping reasons, but Franko is absolutely right. Unless you happen to know someone locally that could take all that stuff off your hands, you're going to be way better off parting her out. You'll end up making more money AND your stuff will move faster.

I've told the sellers that on four of the A1200s I've bought in the past few weeks, it didn't reduce the postage though but I would have just ended up putting the floppies in the bin as I never use them...

[Franko]

Yeah, I expected that Id get more to split it, but while money is an issue, Id still rather sell it all together to an amiga person. Floppies I dont mind making an exception for. Really though I dont even wat to sell it, but getting my amiga on the network is really pissing me off, and I have no interest in a machine I cant use online and am getting sick of swapping harddrives over (and the tedious process) to simply copy files to my amiga (of which ther's usually a few every day). If I could get my network going I wouldnt even be thinking about it, but by now Im absolutely pissed with it all. I just hope I dont smash it before I get to sell it, which isnt unlikely.

Hmmm... not sure why your swapping HDs around, but if your main problem is transferring downloaded files from the net to your Amiga, just add a CD/DVD drive or a USB card and you'll be able to do it easily...

[Franko]

As mentioned before, better split to find more buyers, and an appealing sum of money for you.

In any case, I tell you, you will regret selling it for sure.

Couldn't agree with you more on that one, it's costing me a small fortune right now replacing all the stuff from eBay that I sold or gave away over the years, lesson learned, never again...

[Franko]

I don't regret selling any of my 1200s, not even the one I went at with gray vinyl dye and installed a CDTV keyboard in.

The only one I miss a bit is the 3000T.

I'm the exact opposite, I don't miss any of the big box stuff (A1500, A3000 or A4000) all I own now and for at least the past 10 years are A1200s, once expanded to the max or towered up they to me are the best Amigas CBM ever created...
