In all seriousness, an Atari Lynx for an Amiga 1200 seems like an unfair trade, but there may be an ultra-mega-mega Atari geek out there somewhere willing to do it.

An Atari Lynx with 6 games and a carrying case is about the same or higher value as an un-upgraded desktop A1200 I reckon - £40 or so (Ebay)
It's not such a bad deal.

I may have wandered into perceived value territory. A special purpose game console (perhaps more--I'm not up on Lynx hacking) doesn't really compare to a general purpose computer in my book. I don't see myself paying ~$75 for a Lynx and a few games . . . but I'd pay $75 for a used A1200. That's the magic of eBay, isn't it? There's always someone willing to pay more.

Just out of curiosity, how much does an average candy bar cost in the UK?

    I know now that that the Lynx itself isn't worth all that much. I paid for it new long after it was discontinued, and I've taken excellent care of it, so I thought it might still retain some of it's initial value.

    I do have some other things I can try to throw in, like an A500 expansion chassis with hard drive controller and RAM board, and/or an A1000 with an internal 2MB RAM expansion.

    Another reason for the price confusion is that where I live in the US, Amiga stuff pops up only once in a blue moon, and when it does, whoever's selling it is often selling it at get-it-out-of-my-house prices. Except on eBay, of course, but after seeing people over there pay $200 for a very obviously broken Cyberstorm board (true story), I've tended to dismiss eBay prices as insanity.

I don't really eat chocolate, but I guess a bar would cost between about 35p and 50p, which, even with the strong Pound, will probably seem a lot to you...
~ 75c - $1 I guess?

I like Amigas

I'd just like to note that my post contained "Personal Attacks" directed toward DoomMaster and not at the new guy, so I think that is fine.  I think this guys offer is fine.  I was just defending him from one of DoomMasters usual idiotic posts (which he has now edited above so you wont see what he really posted).  

Good luck trading the Lynx.  It's a pretty cool system.
