Ok...was at good old Value Village today, and found an Atari 520 ST system. Not only was it in mint condition, but it also had:

Atari SM 124 monitor (BOXED!)
Atari SM 354 Disk Drives x 2 (BOXED!)
Power supplies and hookups too! Yay!

I paid $45 Cdn for the stuff (about $30 US). Did I get screwed? Oh...and the boxes are even in good shape...two of them look MINT! Everything looks nearly new for it. No software tho. I don't really know much about it but I figured someone would want it!

That is a great deal! I pruchased this computer new nback when it came out for $700 I believe. It is close to the Amiga graphically, but the sound wasn't as good. Still, there were tons of great games for the machine, you should look into it before you get rid of it!

What's really funny is that I picked up an Amiga 500 w/monitor and hookups last week too for $10! I'm keeping the Amiga....it had awesome games back in the day, and it works, and I don't have room for both. What I'm really wondering is what the 520 ST is worth these days. I figure that the original Atari boxes in great shape add a bit.

I used to have a 520 st back in the day and sold it for 50$ in 91 or so w/ monitor. A friend in the family wants to give me a 1040, but I have no idea where I would put it. I have hard enough time storing my consoles.
