I once had so many A500s we toyed with the idea of re-roofing the house with them!

Well, I am reluctant to post in this thread as I am almost embarrassed to admit to anyone outside the Amiga community how much Amiga stuff I have, and what I have spent on it all over the last 19 years.

I just picked up the last piece to my collection, the somewhat rare A3000T 040.  It is in very good condition, but the floppy cover plate is a little discolored.

I told myself and my 13 year old son that this is the last classic Amiga I will ever buy as it completes my collection (as far as I am concerned) by giving me every model Amiga produced.  I don't count the A2500 or A1500 as separate models, I instead consider them as variations of other models that I do have.  Here is my list.  (sorry, I know most of you have already seen it)

A1000 - 2, 1 working, the other waiting to be transformed
A500 - 2, 1 w/GVP A530 and 1 w/Supra HD + RAM
CDTV - 2, bone stock
A2000 - 2, 1 w/060 Toaster Flyer
A3000D - 3, 2 w/040 Warp Engines & VLAB Motion/Tocatta
A3000T - 1, soon to have 060 & Toaster Flyer
A4000D - 3, 2 in tower conversions w/Toaster Flyer & CSPPC
A4000T - 1, w/Toaster Flyer & CSPPC
A600 - 1, stock w/HD, needs minor work, intermittent keybd problem
A1200 - 2, 1 w/060, OS 3.9, Subway USB & wireless NIC
CD32 - 2, 1 mint, brand new in box, 1 w/SX-1 expansion

That is a total of 21 classic Amigas. I had thought of trying to put all the Amiga hardware and software I own in one room to take a picture of it, but have not had the time or opportunity to do so yet.  There are probably a few others that have more than I do, but not many I'll bet.

I actually plan on thinning out my collection later this year when I have the time to organize it all, but when I think of selling any of the Amiga computers, it is hard for me to imagine letting any of them go.  I mean what if I need parts when one of them starts having problems and there are no more available?  I know that I should probably let one of the A1200's, the CDTV's, the CD32's, the A2000's, the A3000D's go, to make room and because I don't use them.  I probably will, but I am keeping the rest as a complete collection and for my video studio use.  :crazy:
How are you helping the Amiga community? :)

Now I know why older Amiga stuff is getting rare on eBay.  You guys have it all..   :-D

AmigaDave; If you're looking to offload your A2000 060 I would be happy to help you out of your dilemma…

You could be thinking about Zimmers.net
He is a Commodore collector in general but I know he owns a CDTV CR, CDTV, to many Commodore PET's to be healthy and much more.
Some of the pictures are ones he got from ebay but most are of ones he owns.
Commodore Pet heaven
He has a couple more computers than me
His site is well worth a browse.

Me, I only have a few Amiga's, I dont really collect the extra hardware or much software.
I do have 19 Amiga's, plus a few dead motherboards but thats it at the moment
