Question Can Amigakit get hold of old new stock of other Amiga Models?

Amigakit sell the cd32 (preowned) and the Amiga 1200 New!
What I dont understand is why don't they sell the Amiga 600 new old stock or any other old Amiga models?

My theory to this question.

A.) Amiga 600 new old stock not available?
B.) Not enough money to be made
C.) The Amiga 1200 is a good enough platform for all Amiga needs why bother with other models.
D.) Older Amiga models too hard to find let alone new old stock?
E.) Not enough demand

My own personal thoughts; I would love to see an option to buy new/old stock of at least the Amiga 600 as well as the Amiga 1200

Amigakit is the best online Amiga store, I don't know what we would do without them

Come to think of it, are there actually any other Amiga online stores as good as Amigakit ?
Where do you get your new old stock Amiga 1200's Amigakit??

I prefer Vesalia, because it's in Germany. Amigakit has great stuff, but there are other shops with Amiga/Retro computer items too.

Would expect so. They stopped production long before the A1200 I believe.

Because they don't have any!! As Graham said production of A600 stopped before 1994 whereas A1200 production continued until about 1997 under the Amiga Technologies brand

Vesalia bought perhaps all the remaining NOS stock of A600 parts and over the years have sold hundreds if not thousands of them. About 6 years ago I bought NOS A600 cases, keyboards & A600HD badges from Vesalia for next to nothing. They have now sold out.

Vesalia was equal, if not superior, to AmigaKit only a few years ago, but they have sold most of their NOS stock now with no way to replenish it.

They bought all the back stock of EyeTech, former supplier to Amiga Technologies. Perhaps from them, perhaps direct from Amiga Technologies a long time ago.

Analogic in the UK is still selling NOS A1200's

What I dont understand is why people rather post in a forum than ask us direct.

It's always well worth looking at what Vesalia are offering, in particular when looking for software.

Their range of products is different from, and complementary to, that offered by Amigakit.

Things I wish Amigakit would stock;

Cuddly toy dog of 'Mitchy'
Tea Mugs in the shape of a barrel battery
Amiga Super Cape!
Birthday cakes with Amiga logo
Dave Haynie signed artifacts
Blackpool rock in the shape of Barrel battery with 'acid' flavour that makes your mouth go green

Liked this. Sorry, hehe. Never had much trouble with response from Amigakit. But it was 'cute'

Hmmm.. Since you replied without answering, perhaps that is your answer?
