What do you mean by "copied"?

BTW welcome to A.org :-)

most of them are not the original amiga disks but copies of the disks

That's a big problem - one of the reasons that the Amiga nearly died the first time was copied disks - I very much doubt that many people here would buy those.

The originals are another matter - there are usually quite a few going on eBay, and you should be able to get an idea from there.

IMHO you can only ask the price of the disks. Copied games are worth zilch.

Depends totally on the type of Amiga...

How much would you pay for copied albums on cassette compared with the originals?  Most people here are a little twitchy about copied stuff, as selling it could get you in trouble with copyrights etc.

As for the value of a used Amiga, this will depend a great deal on the model/condition.  A500s won't fetch much used as they're pretty obsolete these days, and A1200s don't tend to get very much as there are a lot of them about.  Any accessories will help (i.e. original monitors, packaging, scanners etc) and if your system is modified then that will also be of interest - standard Amiga's are very rare these days.....

However, if you've something rare and exotic (A3000/A3500/A4000 etc) for sale then get in touch :-D

Otherwise try www.amibench.org for a rough guide to used values.

The copied disks are worthless. Even if anyone wanted the games on them, they could just download them from the internet. The only attraction to buying old games now is for collector's value, and you don't get that from copies.

1p?  Dunno... I just binned 5 diskboxes full (500 disks) - this might give you some indication as to their value.

The best thing I can think is to give them to a family member. It could be the greatest gift they have been given  :-D
