I would be willing to sell the Amiga 500 with its power supply for only $40.00.  This is one of the nicest Amiga 500s that I have seen in a long time.  Usually, every time I find an Amiga 500 it is yellowed or scratched and chipped.  Or the keys will be broken or dirty and warn out from heavy use.  This Amiga 500 is absolutely perfect.  If I can not sell it for the price I want, then I will keep it.  I already found a very nice PC tower case that I can put it into.   :-D

Seems they're not worth much as most collectors already have one and retro gamers are all looking for A1200s.

What kinda memory expansion is it, mad? :-D

I will give you $25 with the PS.  I know you like to part everyting out and milk it for as much as you can get, but I am not rich, and besides you milked me pretty good on that A600 you sold me, without a mouse and made me pay a $5 eBay fee!!!  Sound fair?

I will keep this awesome condition Amiga 500 before I let it go for less then $40.00.  ALL of the classic Amiga games and demos run on this computer and I know how hard it is to find an Amiga 500 in this greata shape.  You guys will find out what I already know- the OCS Amiga computers will become the most highly saught after of all Amigas in the near future because most of the classic Amiga software was produced to run on the OCS chipset.  I have been watching the Amiga 2000, 500, and 1000 computers on eBay for the past several months.  I have noticed that these machines are starting to sell for more and more money each time.  We will see what happens in the future.  I fear that as always I will get the last laugh.   :lol:

I'd suggest anyone even considering buying this machine to do a search first (that is if you don't know his rep already).  HE IS A THIEF!  He just sold a pirated copy of Amiga Workbench to another A.org member.
Time to move on.  Bye Amiga.org.  :(

I already have a MINT in box A500 (see my pics) so I really don't need one that bad to pay $40+ for it, especially since I paid $70 for this one that was NEW in box (like the ones Red was selling)  I think $25 is a fair price, especially since I have yet to see a picture of it.  You will not get any more on eBay without pictures.  And if you do put it on eBay please use a real pic and not a "borrowed" pic. ;)

I have been watching the Amiga 2000, 500, and 1000 computers on eBay for the past several months. I have noticed that these machines are starting to sell for more and more money


Not in the uk there not only the a1000 has any value and lately they have been selling for even less money .

My a500 has a baseboard 4 meg memory expansion fitted to it.Its by expansion systems  a usa company it boots from its own floppy to recognise the memory on the card or the drivers can be copied to a hard drive.

Look at the price of this a500 proves how worthless the can be
 a500 not long to go and 1 bid at 0.99p :-)  :-D

Just a heads up folks.  I found out that the Amiga 500 that I am offering for sale is one of the rarer "premier" issues.  It has the small, square Commodore logo under the large Amiga logo.  The more common Amiga 500 has a much larger emblem under the large Amiga logo.  Because this is a rare Premier issue Amiga 500, in like new condition, the price has now been raised to $265.00 plus s/h.  You guys sould have bought this rare Amiga 500 when it was only $40.00 plus s/h.   :lol:

I am probably just going to keep this computer anyway after finding out that it is the rarer version.   :-D

It would have to be rarer if you owned it all a500,s are common none are worth much a rarer a500 would be a kickstart 1.2 machine not the common 1.3. :-o

Doomy,

I own the A500 with the small square logo. The one you say is the premiere rare model.  It is NEW complete in the box.  So should I sell it for more than $265?  I will sell it to you for $765.  pmail me. ;)

@x56h34

Maybe you should sell your A500 Discovery pack!??  Surely it is worth a lot.  Since Doomy appreciates the value of Amiga computers he may be interested?  Have him mail you Cash or a MO. :P
