Amiga deal of the century!!!!
« on: November 28, 2008, 02:45:04 PM »
You won't believe it. I got the deal of a lifetime on several Amiga's I bought recently. See what I bought below:

2 Amiga 3000's (one fully loaded w 16mb zip ram)
1 Amiga 1000 w 1MB internal ram card and front 256kb ram card.

2 Amiga 500's (1 with 2.5" IDE hard drive, RAM = 2MB)
1 Amiga 1200 with hard drive
1 Amiga CDTV
4 external 3.5" disk drives
1 1080 monitor
1 1084S monitor
Alegra 1MB A1000 side slot expansion
Genlock
Converted PC power supply to work with Amiga.
Several amiga mice

ALL of this for just over $200 bucks. I am totally excited.

Wow, now that's a deal..... ;-)

I once got a 2000 w. Supergen genlock, and a 1000 free from one of my old customers. I also got a 2500 from another customer for $100.  To say nothing of the inventory from the store when it closed. ;-) Too bad I had to sell the 3000 to pay the rent. That's one machine I wish I still had.

You lucky... (...what words can I say without being censored?)

I paid $400 for my A3000 and you got two, PLUS all that for $200?! (I hope you don't have to ship all that)

I suppose I can't complain. I got an A1000, A500, 1084, A2000, A4000, Mac SE, NeXTstation, Atari 1200XL, SGI Indy, and Apple IIc for a total of $100. (3 different hauls)

No, I was lucky. I drove about 30 miles and picked it up in person. Cost me about 5$ in gas.

I hear ya. I was so excited on the way home that in addition to soiling myself, I felt as if I just commited a felony. Will have to wear diapers on the next Amiga pick up.

@Barney

Only if you crossed state lines with your bounty would it be considered a felony. ;-)

Nice haul, none the less.  I'm glad the Amiga stuff got into the hands of an Amiga enthusiast.
