I wonder how much of that software is freeware now. Isn't PersonalPain 6.4 on aminet? Putting freeware on and saying "the harddrive is loaded with this software" is all kinds of scammy.

I used to give Ryan the benefit of the doubt on things, but I'm starting to wonder if my sage-like benevolence is misdirected. :-(

Deal of a lifetime?  Kinda steep for a a1200 Magic bundle.  Heck they sold for less 3 yrs ago.  I bought another 1200 magic bundle in 2000for 450 brand new, and all the software they have listed of course came with it.  700 bucks is a rip off.

I just sold an Amiga CD32 Spectacular Voyage pack on eBay UK for £271 (US $493). It was brand new and still sealed, and I started the bidding at £19.99 with no reverse. Hopefully I'm not in the category of "Greedy eBay Sellers"... it's not my fault people bid up to that amount! :-D

But the A1200 above with a starting bid of US $699.99 and a Buy It Now! of US $799.99... defies explanation! I'll be watching closely to see if anyone buys it!

Steve.

Total rip off! I payed considerable less for a A4000D, MirageTower, Mediator, CSPPC060, CV3D, FastATA and more system. There are excelent deals to be made on classic machines out there, with A1 out and OS4 released soon ("when it's done" TM), but this A1200 package is not one of them.

Probably. I doubt anyone cares about it, though. :-(

No pics on the actual computer, software, just boxes and boxes.  Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk.

Buyers, beware.

I just searched 'amiga floppy' and there's someone selling "blank" disks. They say "There seems to be game titles written on the labels!? Weird!?" They're hoping someone will bid high to get the games I'm sure. I'm pretty sure the $7.99 shipping is s rip, too.
