Recap, there are no more new A500s available in this offer. There are a few new C64C and 1541-II, and refurb A500s. I'm closing this offer at 10PM EST.  

Thank you to everyone for your interest:-)

It's been awhile since I messed wtih older (well, older than my 1200) hardware - if a system comes with 512K chip, it probably has the original Agnus and there is no way to upgrade this to 1MB chip unless Agnus is replaced?  If I dropped a memory expansion in the trapdoor, it would give me 1MB, 512K Chip + 512K Fast?  How many games require 1MB Chip?  The reason why I'm asking all this, is because I wouldn't mind picking up a 500 sometime just to hook up to play games instead of spending my days trying to get them to work on my A1200.

If you dropped in a A501 memory expansion, yes it would give you 512k chip and 512k fast. However if you require 1 Meg chip you do not need a new Agnus, you just put in a A501 and do a simple hack which IIRC requires cutting one trace on the MB. I've done it before, it's simple.
