Selling up!
« on: July 12, 2008, 10:31:19 PM »
Seems I`ve come to the point where I need room and unfortunately the Amiga gear has to go, just havent got the room in our pokey little flat. Buyer would need to collect from Dundee, UK as I havent got time to mess around with posting etc, if I did I would shove it all on ebay :-) . So heres whats on offer :-)

Amiga CDTV. Original keyboard, mouse, ext floppy drive. Comes with new remote a caddy and a few CDs.

Amiga 1200. 68030 50mhz Blizzard 32mb no fpu. New 3.1 Roms fitted and comes with a new set of 3.1 OS disks. External CDrom with interface although I have no software for it, I hadnt got around to buying this. No hard drive, had been using a 2.5" but this was borrowed from an old 486 laptop and has since been removed. Motherboard is in good condition and no cap leaks. Spare 1200 motherboard (requires a replacement cap). Spare plastics, floppy etc.

Amiga 500+ Battery removed
Amiga 500
Amiga 600 (a bit yellowed but soo cute!)

There are a few original games but these have no boxes as I was requiring space inc Theme Park, Project X etc, also around 1000 floppies most with games or PD on. The usual collection of manuals and a few booklets. Complete set of CU Amiga CDroms in sleeves and a few other disks around 60 in total. Superbase 2 with dongle. Collection of mice, joysticks, powerpacks and varios cables. Theres way too much to list here. £200 the lot. :-)

Hire a small van... that would be £80 for a couple of days... probably the same in petrol? Could be cost effective...

Spending £160 on transport and then another £200 on the items (which are not cheap in the first place) is never going to be "cost effective" now is it? Is it? No. ;-)

Just in case the postal option has to be used, then parcel2go.com is the best bet. Collection & delivery anywhere in the UK from only £6.19 +vat (25kg per parcel limit I think).

Good luck Dazxy2001  :-)

I guess the price is a matter of opinion, I`ve seen the Blizzard and CDTV`s go for nutty prices on ebay and the items sold seperately could probably manage alot more than the £200 requested. But I`d rather it goes as a job lot :)

I very much doubt it. I've never seen a CDTV go for much more than £50 unless it is mint and boxed or has a rare upgrade. Surprisingly enough the keyboard, if it has black keys, it is worth almost as much as the main unit!

The last CDTV + Keyboard + Mouse + Joypad + floppy drive sold on Ebay for £59

Unless your blizzard is a MKIV again.. £60-80

£200 is a good price. Value for money. (Which is the best you can hope for in this world) But not a bargain IMHO.

But you shouldn't listen to me, I'm sure there are people with deeper pockets who will make you an offer.
