Arrrghhhh! Just missed a unbelievable SWEET deal today....
« on: March 15, 2009, 12:53:09 AM »
Guys, check out this deal advertised locally! Unfortunately, I was just a little to late.... :boohoo:

AmigaOne system, appears to work fine.  The system boots kickstart, and it appears the hard drive system is partitioned for MacOS, Amiga OS and Linux. It's got 512mb Ram
The CPU is a MPC 744x/MPC 745x v2.1 133mhz FSB and 800mhz internal
64mb AGP with RCA, SVIDEO, and VGA out.
4 USB Ports.
10/100 Ethernet 3Com Built in
and the usual ports
Standard serial parallel, 1.44 floppy
I also have the release of AmigaOS 4 that was shipped with the system, including key, it is the prerelease that was shipped with it.

$125!!!

Somebody in the Seattle/Tacoma area had a GREAT day today!  Sadly not me.... :madashell:

I Wish! Normally, you only get 500's, or maybe 2000's listed in the bay area, and the prices aren't too bad. There's that ex-Commodore guy still hawking his "special" A3000 for $500.  :insane:

@Amiduffer,

yeah, I talked to that looney and he's, well... looney. He started selling it at $100-150 back when the economy was in shape and now that it's in the {bleep}ter he's asking $500 for it! LOL! The machine hasn't been used in decades and is probably completely rotted. Not worth the time to even drive there..

As for the sale the OP posted, MAN, what a lucky guy this guy who got it must have been! Woa!

 I feel your pain!
Several years ago at a flea market I came upon a guy with a pickup truck load of Amigas!!!Grabbing my wallet,I asked "how much do you want  for some of these?"
He replied "I'm sorry,another fellow just bought it all."
 For TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 "Just some old computers my buddy asked me to get rid of...."
There were several big box Amigas and lots of accessories;the new owner knew what he had and probably made a couple thousand dollars on ebay. :boohoo:

Can't win'em all.....

I can't complain tho.... last year i got a bunch of Amiga goodies a a garage sale but the best was a complete A4000 sitting on the pile heading for the trash.  The guy was cool and said that I could just have it since it didn't work.
I moved a jumper on the MB and if fired right up..barely a scratch on it too. :-o

Best deal tho...

Bought a Asteroids Mini Arcade for $35 - not working

Replaced fuse...fixed
Cleaned game and found $50 in quarters under coinbox
Swapped better parts with a game I was keeping
Sold on Ebay $550

I got a free A3000 from this board, when I opened it, the screws cracked the paint in perfect little circles.

My time did come!!  

I tried the RetroBrite treatment on all of the keys on a beautiful A1200 before I had the method down and 'overcooked' them... nice crappy mottled look :boohoo:

Managed to find a nice A500 keyboard that I will use to replace some of them... oh well :roll:
