It's still possible to get a good Amiga system working for little cash, you just need to be patient. For instance, A1200 accelerators routinely go for over £100 but I got two 68030/40s for about £60 each, and a 1200 with a 8MB RAM card for £55+postage - you just need to be a bit lucky, but patience is usually rewarded. One of the 68030's was being sold as a ROM upgrade (but the picture was clearly an '030) and the other had had a capacitor fall off (which was included and was a 2 minute replacement job).
An A2000 is a good starting point for a budget Amiga - they're very cheap and yet distinctly expandable (and MILITARY SPEC!!!!1eleven), but it can go further yet!
Don't give up on the Miggy yet 
It's an A2000 I need. The last one even listed in the UK was collection only A1500 and would cost me £80 in train fare to collect as he wouldn't post it. That had 2mb RAM and no hard drive. There is only one other and it's £300 and another A1500 with bugger all inside that is also listed on Gumtree for £200 (which is obviously what he is looking for hence the reserve).
There is a yellowed 3000 for £200 up there but I dunno big box Amigas are getting quite rare now on ebay I find. There's a yellowed 4000 auction too but god knows how much that will go for and that is also collection in person only.
I've not seen an Amiga 1000 even listed on ebay UK for probably a year now but luckily I have one of those.
I will keep my A1000 because it is the best computer ever produced right up to today but would sell off the rest of kit I have. I might start collecting classic cars, think it would be a cheaper hobby in the UK and my dad's a mechanic anyway :rofl:
(Although they are great machines and plentiful I don't like the A1200/A600 keyboards so the hard drive is no problem but don't fancy coding on it for hours on end)
