It's a nice example of an A500-Plus but sorry to say, it doesn't look unused.  The warranty seals have obviously been broken and the system case has been opened at one time by the looks of it.  Hopefully to remove the on-board battery as it will be leaking by now and destroying the motherboard, I'd check that ASAP.

It should come with two manuals, one for the hardware set up and one about using AmigaDOS 2.0.

Nope, the plastic on the warranty stickers goes brittle, and can easily be pushed in, without intending to.

I'd agree it hasn't been opened.

It isn't a 500+, so it doesn't have a battery.

@S0nic

It has been opened, see sticker on the back. The gap between the top and bottom shells is visible.

Keyboard layout is Italian, so the manuals would be in either Italian (if made in that language) or English.
It may be the lighting, but some keys seem lower than others. Check the springs underneath.

Documentation could match KS 1.3 or KS 2.04 as this version of A500 ("reduced" A500+) was sold with both.

KS 2.04 models came with "Introducing the A500 and A500+" and "Using the Amiga Workbench" IIRC (gray covers).

KS 1.3 ones should come with "A500 user's manual" and "Amiga Basic" and "Enhancer software" covering Amiga DOS 1.3 (white covers). That said, I think Amiga Basic was taken away from the Extras disk of (some?) international 1.3.3 versions, but the Amiga Basic manual was still included.

A520 manual should only be included if the A520 modulator was also bundled. This was not always the case.

EDIT: Ah, just saw in that last pic that you indeed got the A520 as well. So yes, there should be an A520 manual too.

Yes, just keep in mind that these manuals match KS 2.04, not KS 1.3.

The photo you posted is of a Workbench 2.04 3-disk set, not of Kickstart 2.04 (which is a ROM chip).

You still have not mentioned which Kickstart version this A500 has so you can't get a correct answer until you do.

Hmnm the light was reflecting off the badge too much for me to tell, but it looked like a 500+ badge and it ships with KS 2.04 by the looks of it, also the motherboard seems to say A500+ and has space for a (removed) battery...
