CDTV Amiga 570 Add-On Value?

18 April 2008, 19:22

i have had the CDTV add-on for the Amiga 500 from new and have only used it a couple of times. it's in mint condition (not faded) with everything it came with: caddy, cds, wires, power lead, box. how much are these worth. i don't see any on ebay. Shame to see it go but it's just getting in the way now. Any help would be appreciated. thanks.

About £40 boxed, £20 unboxed.

Dont think rocking horse shit, think dog shit.

They are really not in demand at all. I bought mine absolutely mint, unopened, about 10 years ago for £60.

Shame because they could have been amazing back then, IF you could have got the 2Mbyte RAM upgrade and CD's with WHDload games on.

WHDload games play wonderfully off CD-ROM with an A570 + 2Mbyte chip + 2Mbyte Fast RAM.

Today a GVP HD8+ is a much better buy.

A 700Mbyte CD sounded a lot back then, but it just isnt that impressive compared to a 1,000,000 MByte hard drive you can fit these days.
