I have an Amiga 1000 for sale. This machine is *NOT* packed with goodies 🙂 One Amiga 1000, 256K. Internal drive has been replaced, and the replacement is currently poorly mounted. Will throw in the old drive. Keyboard, mouse, mousepad, powercables, system software, you know, the usual. The price? Best acceptable offer (I decide what's acceptable 🙂 Shipping depends on the offer 🙂 tmm/Richard Cunningham

Boy. What a killer machine <g>. Not to be rude or anything, but would you take $75 for it? Bob

Hhhhmmm. Close, Bob, but not quite close enough (he says sorta seriously). I mean, it's got those signatures on the inside cover…. But you're not out of the ballpark… tmm/Richard Cunningham

OK, how about $100?

$75? Don't do it! 😉 An A1000 in good working condition and good cosmetic shape, with 512K of RAM, is worth a minimum of $150. I've seen them go for $200, but $150 seems fair.

Yes, but like he said, it only has 256K. I would pay $150 for a 512K machine, but not for a 256K one.

Even with a *FREE* DEAD HD box? Yes, a "Tiny Tiger" box that just didn't want to support the power requirements of a Priam 330Meg 5.25FH…I'll toss that in, too! 🙂 tmm/Richard Cunningham
