Which is the LEAST popular Amiga?

[beller]

The problem is FINDING one. An NTSC A600 will probably fetch a good hundred to two hundred USD, but they are very hard to find. I would have to estimate for every NTSC A 600 that exists, there are probably 50- 100 PAL units (if not more).

Make me an offer if you'd like one.  For $200 plus shipping I'd sell it in a hot minute!

Anyone at AmiWest could save delivery fees!

My vote goes for the CDTV.  I only know one guy who bought it, and he hardly ever used it.

Oh, I got one already Paid $100 for it. But the last few that went up on Ebay.ca went for about $200 usd. I don't even want to mention the one from Quebec that had the accelerator in it. IIRC that one went for 280-300.

I never really got the Anti-A600 movement. Even back in 1992 it seemed like it was just angry a500 owners looking for something to take their anger out on.

I got an A500Plus for Xmas 1991, but as soon as I saw the grainy photos of the A600 in Amiga Shopper in April 92, I craved one.

I eventually got an A1200 but finally picked up an A600 from eBay afew years ago. Basically you're getting an A500 but with 1/4 of the footprint ( the a500 design wasn't great) with a built in hard disk/CDROM interface (cost about £400 to add one to the A500) surface mount chips were much more reliable, plus thanks to PCMCIA it worked with future A1200 peripherals.

I personally think the A600 is a much nicer and better value machine than the A500.

From what I understand it is like the A1000 over in Europe. Here in North America, they are quite plentiful and very easy to get, but I understand that is not the case over there.

Rare as hens teeth here, even really bad banged up PAL examples fetch astronomical ammounts of "£'s". It may be genesis but it isn't worth that much if you ask me as it is so limited to upgrades.

 Its funny, I say that about the A500 here. Any "real" upgrade other than the 501 ram expansion is so outrageously priced, it make you wonder why the thing is so popular. I ordered a few PAL A600 from the UK, dropped a 3.1 ROM and a CF card inside. I use the North American power supply and the unit has more use than any A500's I have.
I really am confused when people say the A500 has so many "upgrades" because, obviously they are just not available at all in North America for a decent price.
Infact, the A1000 is so much easier to find upgrades for than the A500. (in Canada anyway).

Love em or hate them the A600 was more popular than you think...

I do like the figures for the C64.. Classic.

The most unpopular Amiga in my view was the CDTV. Though it never carried the Amiga badge, it confused the user base blurring the true strength of the Amiga computer.

The CD32 wasn`t much better, and quickly spawned the likes of the SX-32 to try and rescue the console back to its origins.

The A2000, though a beast was incredibly versatile in its day and was loved to death by its user base. It also had a massive amount of revisions to the motherboard..

The A500 takes the award for being the most popular, though the A1200 is still the greatest computer ' ever ' made.
