I must live in an Amiga graveyard...
In the past few years I've scored some great and not-so-great deals on used Amiga stuff where I live, but I'm still amazed just how much is for sale in Southern California (mainly Los Angeles area). Here are the current Amiga items for sale in the "Recycler" ad magazine:

Heh, I just saw the A1000 ads today (seller actually has it listed twice). I might go take a look and see how clean it is.

I would be happy to find any Amiga (or other retro computer) in 60 miles radius. No one sells anything here. Not even consoles.

Actually, the A1000 ($100) guy chickened out and said his Mom told him he couldn't sell it.
That's happened before to me. Amiga or otherwise, it isn't easy to sell for $50-100 a whole computer set up that originally cost you $2000 or so. |

Finding Amiga equipment is common in larger cities from what I have seen. Ebay is still a good bet for the rest of you.

Nah, eBay sucks the big one, anytime something is labeled with Amiga it automatically gets the RARE or ULTRA RARE and of course the price goes thru the freaking roof

The best deals I purchased were from the newsgroups (games, accelerators, etc) and my A1200 was from a member here at a reasonable cost. Jmmijo I did give you a lead on some dirt cheap equipment in your area a year or so ago and you never followed up on it. |

Some prices are just insane, which is why I never purchased a HD for my A500 and just went with the A2000HD.
Someone on an Atari forum was ditching an ST version of a syquest 44mb external drive, when asked the price it was over $100 US.. so much for that. If you want to make some money buy some barely operating A2000's and slap a video toaster into it then eBay them. I notice prices for rare 68K addons have dropped like a rock lately, was hoping Amiga equipment would also. At least I have what I need for my units at the moment. |

No, it was the 3.5" 720 external drive but 1/2 the height of the 1010. Basicaly the 1010 has the style of the amiga 1010, while the 1011 looks like it was designed for the sleeker 500/1200 series. The 1011's go for more money on ebay (I have one).
