Alright people, be nice, 'cos I saw this first.

A3000

It's IMMACULATE! And, I could buy it, right now, for 250$. I'd burn the money. In a heartbeat. I want another A3000 again. Problem is, it's only got 4MB of memory and 2.1 roms. I've already asked, but I know these guys will jack the price up, to add all that extra ram and the 3.1 roms. Still, I want this A3000 and I have the money for it.


Now, the GOOD news is, I KNOW these guys. They're the old Randomize company, in Canada. I've ordered from them, YEARS ago and they're *WONDERFUL* people to work with. They helped me find an 030/50 Derringer for my A500 and took 2 16MB simms in trade for a 32MB one, 'cos I bought an Apollo Accelerator that wouldn't work in my two 2000's, with 2 16MB sticks, but didn't want to return the accelerator to them, 'cos it wasn't faulty, it was my motherboards (I felt that since I had paid for a product that worked, being an Amiga, I should keep it, since my hardware was at fault and they needed the money, I'm sure).

So, should I just outright buy it or wait and see if they'll add the 12MB of zips and the 3.1 roms they have?

 :-(  :-D

thats a AO user I think.. I forget his name though.. too much $ for a A3k.

EDIT: I'd rather have the girl in the pics then anything else on that page.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA


Yeah, 250$, plus 50$ is expensive for an A3000. There's one I could snipe hunt for around 300$, that's got an 040 and Picasso-II card, that's dying in about 3 hrs. That's a NICE machine, but I know Randomize and if they added the 3.1 roms and the extra 12MB, I think it's worth 250$.  :-D


BTW, were you the one who snagged that free A500 that popped up in Austin, about two weeks ago??

[Chubbyrain]

That 3000 you speak of with the bouncy things on the page (The ball I mean) actually went through one run on Ebay already and there were no bidders. This is the second time around at $249. I expect that they may drop the price if it doesn't go this time. Especially when you compare it to the other 3000 which is a much nicer machine.

[Methuselas]

I agree. I wouldn't pay more than 150$ for an A3000, in a stock condition, such as this. I guess I should ask him about the buster, WD SCSI chip, etc., so I won't end up with a turkey, that costs me a lot to upgrade.

I can get an A1200, stock from Matt, over at Amigakit, for 178$, plus shipping. It's the shipping part that worries me the most.  :-o
