@Redrum:

Can you give us more details?  IIRC you already mentioned these are NTSC A500s and C64's.  Can you tell us what type of A500s these are? (eg KS 1.3? 2.04?) how much chip and fastRAM?

I'm sorely tempted to get one of those C64c's off you - you wouldn't happen to know someplace to get 5.25" floppies, would you?

@CodeSmith

For new 5.25" disks check ebay...I picked up
3 boxes of them last year cheap.

Yes, I just did a quick google search and was surprised at how easy it was to find DD disks these days.

@redrum: you've got mail!  :-D

These are standard first generation Amiga 500s with 512K chip.  Here's the trick, some have KS1.2 and some have KS1.3, but all have WB 1.3.

KS revision is not garanteed in these sales because not all boxes are marked.

The KS version should not be a problem, one can always get a new kickstart from softhut etc... I'm more interested in one of the C64s (the A500 is just too similar to my A1200, the miser in me wouldn't stop complaining...), but if I were to buy an A500 I'd most probably fit it with a kickstart switcher, to have the least compatibility problems.

Watch out though, opening your A500 will void your warranty...  :-P

I know it's damn silly...but I kind of want a
new 64 as well...for collector value alone.
Imagine a new 64 25 years from now...that could
be quite an item.

Nope, it's not silly at all. A new 64 is rare NOW! In 25 years it will be unheard of.

To all those who are waiting for shipping costs, I will be emailing you latger today. Approximately 2/3 mentioned are accounted for. Anyone else email soon, will probably close the offer today.

I could be interested (maybe in September) in a new Amiga 500 for my collection of personal computer. I had one 12 years ago but had to sell it ...

So what are the offers ? And for RAM expansion ? And Joysticks ?

No sir, the A2000s are used. I am however taking the time to clean them up and change the batteries. They will be nice, but definately used. Both have extras.

I wish you luck with your sales, and somehow I think that you'll be struggling to match demand given the comments on here!

Unfortunately I'll stick with my two A500's (very used) and two A1200's that are all crammed into my study right now!

If you get any NOS PAL A4000's then drop me a line! :-D

Recap, there are no more new A500s available in this offer. There are a few new C64C and 1541-II, and refurb A500s. I'm closing this offer at 10PM EST.  

Thank you to everyone for your interest:-)
