Blizzard 1230/IV + scsi kit
« on: January 21, 2004, 03:29:36 PM »
Hi! i have the chance of getting a Blizzard 1230/IV with or without the scsi kit. I was just wondering, how much should i pay for this, with the scsi and without the scsi.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Blizzard1230/IV without SCSI can be found for as little as 25$ but lets say 35$ is resonable cheap. For SCSI add another 35-40$.

Well, Amiga hardware prices have kept their value, unlike other computer hardware. It's hard to find a good deal. If you do find a good deal then usually the person who sold you the particular item(s) didn't know what the potential earnings could have been.

Well...this guy wants 300 dollars for a towered 1200 with the Blizzard + scsi kit + 32 mb + 8,4 hdd + a lot of other little things.
How does it sound? Fair? Expensive?

I'd say very expensive, it's only an 030 and the rest you mention except scsi kit, is meaningless...ok maybe not meaninglgess but 300$?!!!! Don't even think about it!

Jose: i forgot to tell you 2 little facts
 :-D
1) those "little extras" are a 4x Teac cd writer, a cd-rom (both scsi), and a lot of games & apps (all towered in a pc tower)
2) but non less important, im located in Argentina!
Amigas here were always so much expensive than what you could possible imagine.
I give you a couple of examples:
I know a guy who´s selling a new A600 never opened in original box bla bla bla...for 300 dollars
Another example: an A4000 with Toaster costs more less 3000 dollars (yeah right 3 thousand)
300 dollars for a 1200 is what is usually been paid here.
A 1084 monitor costs around 200 dollars, and believe me, they are VERY hard to get (imagine to get your hands on a 1960 or a 1942 here...impossible!)

Anyway, i think i will be offering him 200 dollars for the lot, hope to make a good deal, since i want to have another reivision of the 1200 mobo in case my ppc wont work in my 1d4

Cheers!

I was looking on uk ebay and I saw a Blizzard 1230, and I thought the price was a little high (to say the least!), so I thought I'd post the auction here on AOrg to see if anyone had an idea of the price, and lo - there was this thread with the title almost ready made

Here's the link

I like Amigas

BlizzardPPC work perfectly in Rev1D4, you don't have to worry about that. I don't know the market in Argentina so you have to work that out yourself, personaly I find it too expencive.

@Gavilan

Ok...But then if it's a PC tower you can get a PC tower yourself and put an A1200 in there yourself...As for the rest, since it's not too heavy  the shipping costs wouldn't be high from a foreign country, so it might be worth buing stuff cheaper from a foreign country, even with the added shipping cost... Of course it's also more risky...
Just my opinion.

Cyberus: that seems massively expensive!  I got same w/o FPU for £30 a couple of months ago; then £35 pounds for FPU from AmigaSuperBit - £65 in total.  Sold a 8Mb A1200 RAM expansion for £40, so not much outlay.  Just the nature of eBay I suppose - both the buyer and seller are rewarded on occasions!
