Good luck on your upgrade! If you look hard enough you'll find a good bargain. I had been looking for over a year for my used 2000. Problem is that most everyone around here bought theirs at the two local dealers who charged full list or better. So a used revision 6.2 A2000 average asking price is about $1,300. I had one guy who wanted to trade for one of our PC clones. No problem, I'd been looking for that kind of trade. I offered him $1,200 worth of tradein on his A2000 with 1 meg, two floppies, XT Bridgeboard with two floppies. No monitor. The deal fell through as he wanted a straight trade for one of our 33 Mhz '386/VGA systems (w 4meg ram, 85 meg 18ms access hd, 1 meg vga card and multisync monitor, current price is about $2000.) Then one day a user wandered onto my bbs and posted an ad selling his, and the next night I was the proud owner of a 6.2 A2000, GVP ComboCard (030/33) with 1 meg chip/4 meg 32 bit, scsi controller, 80 meg Seagate (ugghh) hd, AmigaVision, AmigaDos 1.3.3, a CBM 1950 multisync monitor, etc. all for $2,500! And it's all less than 3 months old!
