How much is this lot worth?

I bought a load of Amiga stuff off a guy who wanted rid of it all (this is not a for sale thread btw) but was just wondering what it is worth? The list of items is as follows....

1x Amiga 500 (boxed and fully working but very yellowed)

2x fully working Amiga 1200's with power packs (one with 100+ game hard drive, the other with an 8MB upgrade)

2x Amiga 1200 (both bust so are spares)

1x Star printer (cant remember model) complete with spare ribbons and ribbon refresh sprays

1x Commodore 1084S moniter (not working as you can see in pix but im investigating as would like it fixed!)

3x External floppy drives

1x CD drive (no idea what it is to be fair, hopefully you know from the pics?)

3x Mice

3x Joysticks (a zipstick, a quickshot and some red thing)

1x Pair or Amiga legs (or a stand if you like to call it that)

100's of floppy's (in disk boxes) containg various games, demos and programs (back ups of course)

about 50 cd's containing various games, demos and programs

also a handfull of original cames (some are unboxed and need code wheels such as Zool) but some are boxed (theme park on both floppy and cd, beneath a steel sky and monkey island 2)

A few Amiga power mags (inc a collectors edition)

Also various books, manuals leads etc

pics....

£80 to £100? clean everything up, get those 2 A1200/monitor fixed and then could be a bit more ££. As all your disks are blank back-ups if you had some original boxed game would have bumped up the ££. The cd is a scsi cd drive for your A1200

The 2 broken 1200s are beyond repair by the look of it tbh as half there guts are missing! I thought seeing as as well as the 2 broken A1200'S there are 2x working A1200's (one having the 8mb upgrade installed) and one working A500 plus all the other bits thrown in that they would be worth more than £100 easy or does the A1200 not command that sort of cash nowadays?

It must be getting late I thought there was only 2 A1200 and I missed the 8mb card so your value is going up £160 to £200 now don't throw out those broken A1200s there's always someone on here who would take them for parts.

Is that including all the other stuff i have and the A500? I would never part with any of it as i may need a donar part from one of the breakers as imo, these things will only get rarer which means spares will to.

Stuff is only worth what someone is willing to pay! If your going to keep it all, then there's a lot of new stuff on the market for you to get the upgrade bug

Not gonna upgrade any of them as dont have the knowledge and tbh i like it how it is ment to be! I will get them back to 100% with regards to the sound issues (maybe upgrade that part so the issue dosent come back) and then just buy games for them from here, ebay etc. For the whole lot above i paid £40 so at least i didnt pay over the odds for it all.

looks a good site, will join that to then! i had to go inside the A1200 with the games add on to chock part of it as the keyboard was touching the games hard drive stopping it loading, it was a bit of a bodge (wedged summat to keep the gap there) and it works fine but that scared the hell outta me!
