Guaging Interest In A CDTV System

chrispy · 28 September 2010, 23:24

Ok, i'm about to take delivery of a complete CDTV system. The trouble is i've only bought it for the black keys off the keyboard. I was wondering if anyone would be interested in the bits left over (games, main system, floppy drive, disc caddy etc)? It'll be going for £50 plus £10 postage in full working order and i'll even throw in the bastardized keyboard (minus keys obviously).

I've offered it here first because this is the first Amiga forum I ever joined and it's where i've been made to feel at home and welcomed with open arms

Please let me know via PM in the next day or two or it goes to Aminet and Ebay.

Although i strongly disagree with you giving away a brilliant machine like that (brilliant cause it has a high Wife Acceptance Factor as it's the only amiga that could easily make it in the living room under the TV set without being recognised), it's your choice m8. If you consider splitting would you kindly sell me any games left? If yes, could you write something more about them and quote a price.

If you are considering splitting and have the black external drive and trackball remote I would be interested in those.

Most of the time they sell for under £30 if at all on evilbay (complete systems). Drop that price and I will buy it

chrispy · 29 September 2010, 16:47

Sorry lads it doesn't have the black external drive it's a white one

As soon as I take delivery i'll make a list of everything available and put it here. I will however try to sell it as one lot before breaking it.

No offense intended my friend but for £30 i'd rather put it away in storage. I've noticed broken main units only going for £20 on Ebay but over the last 6 months i've only ever seen one whole system and that sold for £80 plus delivery. I saw one sell on Aminet for £140 not too long ago so £50 for the system minus keyboard isn't too bad I don't think. The wife could always use it in the kitchen as a CD player anyway

Hey

No offence taken

Cheers

chrispy, I will take it for the £50+ P&P if you could post some pics to me when you get her

thanks.

She'll be arriving here tomorrow according to the Parcel Force website my friend. You do realise it's the base unit, a few discs, external floppy, cd caddy and keyboard (minus keys) but no monitor yes?

yep, that's great

No worries my friend.

This looks in superb condition. I've taken two photo's quick as I have to rush for a hospital appointment and they are below. The postage is actually £15 so if the £50 plus postage is still ok with you let me know. IT comes with the following discs :-

Aminet IV
Hutchinson Encyclopedia (Pal)
Timetable Of History
Lemmings

Please excuse the mess on my dektop area, it's uncharacteristicly untidy for me.
