Thinking of selling ...

[Retromania]

Hi there

I don't know if this is the right place to post this so forgive me if it isn't.

I need to raise some funds and am thinking about selling my Amiga collection. I was wondering if anyone could give me an idea of what would be a fair price? I have ....

A4000/030 with Cyberstorm 040 accelerator, scsi card with 64meg ram. It also has a Picasso IV graphics card. There is a Commodore 1942 monitor with it and original keyboard and lots of software installed as well as original discs, even vidiAmiga. The whole lot is original and in original boxes and packing, with all manuals.

Then there is another A4000/030 with keyboard and monitor - can't recall the model number but I can easily check. I know I have one mulit-sync (is that the 1942 mentioned above?) and one bog-standard Commodore monitor. Again all original and all fully boxed with original packing. The nice thing about this machine is that it has not been opened up to modify it. By that I mean it still has the warranty seal sticker on the back of it over one of the screws.

I have a brand new, never used Towered Amiga 1200. This is the Amiga Magic pack machine with the 3.1 Roms. The tower is an Eyetech tower but it is the early one, not the later squarer tower that allowed for Z4 expansion (or was it Z3?). With this machine there is the original Amiga Magic box with all software and manuals that came with it. It has the Keyboard mod as supplied by Eyetech and the keyboard itself. All brand spanking new and untouched by human hands. I also bought an Apollo 040 board from Eyetech (think they rated it at 28MIPS) which is unused, boxed, brand new etc, and a hard disk drive. I think it is a Seagate drive and would be miniscule by today's standards but again, brand new.

Then I have another Amiga 1200 Magic Pack which again is brand new and unopend. Literally. I bought it from Power Computing and it is still in the box with the Power Computing tape sealing it. No hard drive though - just the standard 1200, but like you just bought it brand new.

Finally I have a used Amiga 1200 Computer Combat pack. Excellent condition and fullly boxed with all original bits. Yes, I actually DID use this machine (but not much).

I also have a C64 bull-nose with 1541 disk drive (both boxed and complete) - is this worth anything?

If anyone can give me an idea of value I would really appreciate it as I need a guideline if I am going to sell it all. Sorry if this is not the done thing (to sell Amiga kit) but I may well have to to raise funds.

Thank you in advance for your help!!!

I'd like to buy the first A4000 you mentioned, the one with the P-IV.  How much?  I live in eastern US.  

Also interersted in the A1200 Tower..

The unopened A1200 interests me. I'm in California, US. Let me know what you are looking for in terms of cash.

My my. You have a nice collection.

For the A4000 with the Picasso, you shouldn't ask less than $800.

Not sure what an unopened A4000 would be, in terms of collectors worth. Be sure to post a few pictures. Mint Ami's with original boxes seem to make the price go up.  :-)

I'm not great on the latest prices.. But I'll try and give a guide...

A4000/030 with Cyberstorm + GFX card etc.. Probably £300 - £500 somewhere (The Picasso IV is worth a lot)

The other 4000/030 if it's almost standard around £100 - £200, but you may get more for it..

Towered Amiga 1200.. about £100 - £200 again I'd say..

Sealed 1200.. around the £50 - £100 area I think

The used 1200.. I'd guess £50 as long as there's not much yellowing...

No clue on the C64 front, but if you're gunna throw it out I'll pay postage for you to send it to me

The prices above are just what I think they're worth.. Some things may be over rated and some may be under.. But I think those are fair prices...

Dammit, I want some CASH!  All the good stuff is hitting the market lately, and I have to sit here and watch it go by!  :cry:

Hi Stopthegop

Thanks for your reply.  I am still considering whether to part with it all or not, so bear with me and I will certainly get back to you.  I would pack it in a large PC box I guess, but are you sure it would travel overseas ok?  I guess with insurance it would be ok but I would feel nervous about it getting to you ok.

Anyway, as I said, bear with me...

All the best

Hi Chubbyrain

Thanks for your reply.  As I mentioned to Stopthegop, I am still trying to decide if I really do need to sell or not, so your interest has been noted and I will get back to you.  Not sure of price though as yet!?

Regards

Thanks to Binox and Amiduffer for your input - this gives me something to go on.

I just need to figure out if I really need to sell it all now or not.

Aaaaaaaaaaargh !!!

@ Stopthegop

Check your PM!

they are PAL right?

[Retromania]

Hi Guru-666

Yes, they are all PAL.

It makes me laugh how people ask, "I'm thinking of selling, how much is this stuff worth?"

And the reply they get:
"How much do you want for it?"


That's the point, they're trying to find out!

:lol:

@ Cyberus

I had kind of thought that myself too!

Just following the question on a little further, how much would the boxed unmodified A4000/030 go for, with screen, keyboard, manuals etc?

Cheers
