Bleh, I live day to day without more the 5 cents in my pocket.  Imagine living being anywhere from $200-$400 a month deficit. That would be the least of my problems not being able to get another toy.

@Amiduffer

There is never a good time to be broke!

I hope your situation changes for the better, never like to see a fellow Amigan struggle financially :-(

I know what you mean. Most of the time people here in SoCal GIVE their Amiga stuff away, i've been lucky so far. I got my A1200 for $20. I just picked up a 1084S and a Astra 1200S scanner for free. Not bad huh? Keep looking in craigslist everyday and you'll probably, eventually find the good stuff!

@ pan1k:

Here in NorCal they do too, only the bay area is so spread out it's a huge trip usually to make it there, unless you're lucky and the owner can hold on to it..

I can't say though, I've been lucky as well and gotten some pretty cheap items, including some 'steals'. Love Cali!

As for Amiduffer, I fully understand, because there are times when I can't spend the money (not totally broke, but you know, other things like bills have priority), and I see this great Amiga piece or what not, and I'm asking the same "why, why, why oh why did it have to go on sale 2 weeks "early" ??? :-) )

They do it here in Maryland too! You wouldn't believe what pops up on Graigslist, and/or Freecycle.
This very likely holds true across the country......

Let's not forget the powertower that I got for $350. Yeah, it was a bit much up front, I ate soup for 3 weeks but heres what it had:

Elbox Powertower
Elbox Zorro Busboard
Blizzard PPC w/ Bvision
A2091 SCI Card
Repulse Sound Card
Surf Squirrel
HD Floppy Drive
SCSI CD-R

Oh and like 2 copies of 3.9 and 3.5 What a deal.. people just don't know what it is worth!

I'd be happy just paying standard going prices for something if it saved me shipping costs by being local.  :roll:

What am I talking about?  That already happened 3 times in the last month!  :-D

Anyone in WA state considering selling a 1200?  Tj?  ;-)
