WTB/T: Cheap Amiga

[TeddyRuxpin]

...if there is even such a thing as a cheap Amiga. ;)

System doesn't have to be complete, just so long as it works.
Pictures would be helpful.
I have a (very) few trade items listed at gametz under the same name as here.

Please PM me with replies about this. Thanks! 8-)

I suggest you look on Ebay for an unexpanded A500 or A1200. They turn up quite often and are the best Amiga machines for general gaming use - the A1200 is better, but expect to pay a little more. You should be able to find one for $100 or less. For an A500 expect to pay $30-50. Also note that if you plan on using your TV for video output, you can hook the A1200 directly up, but for the A500 you'll need another device - the A520 RF unit. Those usually go for about $10-20.

If you want to improve your gaming experience greatly, get an A1200 with a HD and 4 megs of RAM or more. Then you can use WHDLoad and load games from HD, saves a lot of time.

I've got a spare A520 RF unit...and a spare Amiga 500. Problem is it's so big I don't want to actually ship the system. I'd sell the A520 if ya need it tho!
