A1200 price...

PowerPie5000 · 26 February 2010, 22:39

I have another clean fully working Amiga i'm thinking about selling

Its a Commodore A1200 in it's original clean and white condition... there is no yellowing at all with this system

It's a stock A1200 that has never been opened as the warranty seal is still intact.
It comes with the original box (a bit tatty but in one piece), all manuals, complete set of WB 3.0 disks (6 in total including install disk), mouse and PSU. I will also throw in a few random boxed games.

As i said this A1200 has absolutely no yellowing to the case, keys or PSU but the mouse has a slight bit of yellowing. I will try and get some photos up soon as i find the shielding around the RGB, audio and composite ports interesting! It looks like copper as to the usual metal... I'm not sure what revision the board is as it's never been opened

Anyway, anybody know what would be a suitable price?

£50 to £75 on ebay.

I would probably sell it for £75 as it's a nice example

I've seen other A1200's go for more on ebay and they look less impressive

I will get some pics up in a bit.... I've never seen any other A1200 with extra copper-like shielding around some of the rear ports

It's all factory fitted too as the case has never been opened!

I have seen the copper shielding - a small amount at the rear of REV 2B motherboard ports.

£75 would be a good price for this by the sound of it - you see some real sun-tanned A1200's going on ebay for up to £80 on occasion... especially if they have a few extra bits and bobs thrown in... games, external floppy drive etc...

I'm guessing it has 3.0 ROMs.

Yeah it's got 3.0 roms but thats not necessarily a bad thing is it? My main A1200 is running Amigasys 4 AGA along with WHDLoad and tons of other stuff using 3.0 roms and i've had no issues at all

Maybe this one uses a rev 2B board then? I've never come across them myself but i do know Escom A1200's use them.

rev 2B board`s are good for doing the keyboard mod

still not sure why you want to buy anew ami when you already have one

I have 2 x A1200's but i still fancy the idea of owning a brand new and unused one

they're not going to be in stock forever

Anyway i've uploaded some pics in the original post

I was wondering if you would swap that Workbench 3.0 disk set for a brand new, sealed Workbench 3.1 set to sell with it. But that would only make it more saleable if it had 3.1 ROMs.

I don't have any 3.1 roms to go with it... it also took me ages to find a complete WB 3.0 set that included the install disk and in the end i never bothered using it

Why would you want WB 3.0 over 3.1

Because I have three sets of WB 3.1 disks (two sets sealed), but not one complete WB3.0 set (only two sets without the install disk

).

Yeah it's a bugger finding the complete WB 3.0 set... it's that elusive install disk

Anyway does £75 sound ok for this A1200 set? there will be a few random games and disks thrown in too (not pictured as i've not picked them yet

).

Yes, I think that's a fair price.

P.S. Don't forget to mention that it's RARE!!!

Wait, scrub that! I forgot you'll be using AmiBay, not eBay!

It will definitely be listed on Amibay before it ends up on ebay

RARE, MINT, VINTAGE, RETRO are some of the words i will not be using

cosmicfrog · 27 February 2010, 01:43

If its and original install disk then I think you could get away with the rare word

wb 3.1 works with kickstart 3.0
