I have a rather urgent plea for help from users in BRITAIN – I need the information by the end of the weekend. Having bought a new Amiga, I am selling my old Amiga, and would like some feedback as to a reasonable price to ask for it. It's an A500, workbench 1.3 with a 42Mbyte hard disk (an A590 with a larger drive fitted) and with 1Mb chip RAM, 3.5Mb fast RAM. I'm including 40 used but good quality floppy disks for backup purposes. Any guidance woud be appreciated. Regards, Shraddhan – via Whap! from Hertfordshire in the UK

Shraddhan I've no idea, I'm afraid… but why not take a trip to WH Smiths and have a peak at the second-hand ads. That should give you a rough idea. MIke

Shraddhan, I'm not in the UK and have no idea of what the market it like there for a used 500. However, if you were trying to sell it in the US I'd probably say to look at the price of the A1200 with hard disk then divide by 3. -sja

Steve, Thanks for the reply. However, this afternoon I struck a deal with the prospective buyer, and we've agreed on price and payment. I felt I'd asked too low a price and the buyer then wanted me to lower it even further, so I got rather annoyed with him. Today he accepted my price.
