I your reply please answer the following questions:
a) How old is your A2000?

Hey Shawn
I am selling my 2000. It comes with 5 meg ( including the Angus
Chip)
80meg hard drive and Color montor. It is only a year and a half
old.
I just changed over systems and didn't need it anymore. It will
come
with Excellences 2.0 and games. Also a Pascel compeler. I was
asking
2500.00 or best offer. So make me an offer
Thanks!!
Thanks for your offer but I am basically looking to purchase the CPU or you
2000 proper (also any of its internals).
The main reason being that I am upgradeing from my 500. However, I will
mention your offer to friends in my office who are interested in
purchaseing new machines. It sounds as if your machine is not to far off
that mark.
In the event that they are interested or I reconsider I will keep your
message, but I appreciate your quick response.
Shawn
Hey no problem Shawn.
Thanks for your quick response too. If they are intersted, just
drop me
line!
Thanks again and Happy Computing!!

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!
Yes indeed it is difficult,
I have received several good responses from the members of Compuserve but
unfortunatly I have not found exactly what I am looking for. I am mainly
interested in the 2000 and its internal upgrades since I already posses
most of the other periferals (ie: Monitor, Printer).
I would like to find a "newer" CPU like you have found but I have come to
realize either individuals are selling their systems as a whole, which
makes perfect sense, or they have CPU's older than 2 years.
My 500 has suited me fine but it lacks a certain flair when it comes to
true expansion, and vain hopes of actually owning a "toaster."
If you hear any news keep me informed, and for those who sent me mail and
are reading this note, don't give up yet I have to see whats available and
match it to my plans as well as budget…..
Thanks all…….
Shawn
