Wanted: Used A 2000. I've just been wrongfully fired(am suing the boss for 200 grand), and am feeling seperation anxiety from my 2500/30. Would like to find a bare-bones 2000 for el-cheapo (read that, unemployed) that I can start to soup up. Any joy here? Pleaase, I'm writing this on my ancient C=64! E-Mail me soon. Thanks! Jim

While it isn't "el cheap'o", I have the following: A2000 2 floppy drives 50 Meg HD (A2091 w/2 meg on board = 3) Flixer fixer Rom Switcher w/ 2.04 & 1.3 roms Multisync monitor All less than 18 months old Dealer says it's worth $1800. What do you think? Make me a "reasonable" offer.

Your dealer is smoking something if he thinks that system is worth $1800. <g>

Robert: My addition tells me that $1800 is a reasonable valuation on that system. Maybe you are not counting the flicker fixer, VGA monitor, Rom switcher, 2nd floppy, and 2 megs additional ram? Michael ….from the north coast

I am thinking in comparison terms wherein people are selling similarlyconfigured A3000s for about $400 more than that. Bob

How 'bout a Sota 386i? Michael ….from the north coast

Matthew, Unfortunately the resale value of that system is probably closer to $1300 or so….

I'd consider that with a 1084 monitor (no multisync monitor or flixer fixer) matt

I'm breaking into this thread, and I don't know if this information is important… I've been thinking about selling my system for a while (to get a 3000…not to buy a clone!!). Here's what I've got: * A2000 with 1 meg Agnus, non-ECS Denise * Two internal floppies * GVP 3001 controller…28mhz '030, 50mhz '882, 8 megs burst mode SIMMS, autoboot chips for IDE controller * GVP Series II SCSI controller * 40 meg Quantum HD; this one is the very uncommon low profile drive that was made for Apple. Very fast small hard drive. * WB 2.04 on the hard drive * 1084s monitor, in prett good condition…no fading or distortion, but an 'invisible', small scratch on the tube. * I believe that the revision of the motherboard is 6.2…it has not given me any trouble with any expansion product. * I'll throw in a cheapo GVC 2400 baud pocket modem, with cable (since it really doesn't fit on the serial port (the RCA jacks get in the way) That's it! Is anyone interested? Any offers? I'd think that this is a perfect machine for making toast…:) Like to see if its still worth anything, too. A friend of mine told me that I should get $2000 for it… Jonathan – via Whap!
