Thread: Antique computer, must go

Remember the Amiga, the must have games computer of the 80s/90s? I have a top of the range Amiga 4000, with the fastest processor ever available. It also has the best graphics card, PCI bus, SCSI harddrives, SCSI CD burner, SCSI zip, ethernet, sound card, keyboard, mouse, tons of games, a lot of magazines. I had several people interested in buying this at £1200. I didn't sell because it had an intermittent fault, which seems to have become not intermittent. It could be repaired or split into parts and sold on eBay/Amiga enthusiast sites.

It's a big collection and I can't take it with me. Must be collected from Stoke on Trent by Mon/Tue or it's meeting my hammer.

Any offers?

Edit: There's also an Apple Mac, not great but will run OSX 10.3.

Amiga? Antique?

Now, as someone who has a ZX81 with 16kB add-on RAM, I know what antique is!

Sadly, any computer over 2 weeks old is an antique these days.

Could anyone who can see my first post please quote it? I'm troll cloaked and some (most?) people can't see it.

Are you looking for a sale?

I still have an Amstrad cpc6128 and a load of games.
Not selling though

Unfortunatly "antique" computers are still pretty worthless. The amiga is still reasonably popular amonst the music community and so there are shitloads around. Maybe home computer hardware, pre mac and ibm pc clone will be woth big bucks in the future but as there were so many produced its not likely to happen for another 100 odd years. By which time my great grand children can sell the mint condition 48k spectrum I have under my bed in its original box .
Thats if Maddy has finished with it :D

I would disagree. When Amigas with the same spec as mine have come up on eBay, they've gone for £1000-2000. However, right now I would let it go for considerably less.

Some estimates about the cash value of this computer and it's components can be found here: Link

Also, I forgot to say that there a about 75 games (not copies), loads of magazines with cover CDs, a few books, cables...

A new version of AmigaOS was released last November. It needs a PowerPC processor and won't run on most of the Amigas that are gathering dust in peoples lofts. It will run on mine.

Posh fecker - I only had a CPC464.

I have boxed as new:

TI99/4a plus any number of roms and periphs.

Memotech MTX 512

Both are fully inclusive of all items boxed as original plus loads of extras - joysticks, tapes , roms, books/booklets etc

Memotech DMX80 dot matrix printer

All kept for the day they became valuable (day - i meant century). At the moment I believe the whole sodding lot is worth about 25p

I did get shot of all the sinclair and amstrad stuff though so thats 25p's worth not clogging up the attic.

Come on, is there really nobody who wants to exploit me when I'm vulnerable? I'll even help you load the car!
