Item wanted: Amiga 1200
Is packaging essential?: Packaging would be nice but its not a trainsmash
Desired age and condition: Working, but will accept broken or Untested if the price is right.
Location: Centurion
Willing to accept a shipped item: Yes, if your a trusted member of MyBB.

If you have any other old 8 or 16 bit computers please message me.

I dont have that old but have a megadrive and lots of games and also an original gameboy and gamegear.

I actually had two intellivisions and loads of games but my dad donated them to charity when I moved out... ouch!

Always wanted an Amiga 600. Maybe one day when I'm in the UK again I will check out eBay.

Yes there are tuns of them on EBay but when you factor in the size and price it works out more than a small car to ship it :p , hence why I am looking for a local person with one.

All I read here is "I'm backing out of giving you my xbox360":wtf::(

On a side note - how heavy are these? is the screen standard?

I still have my first megadrive and a few Gameboys love those consoles to death, the megadrive actually has the same 6508 Motorola CPU as a Amiga 500, albeit a bit lower clock.

Some of my old games was given away to the maid etc... really miss them a lot.

The 600 is actually a bit more affordable and because there smaller you can easily import one from overseas :) but they have a limited upgrade path compared to the 1200

I will gladly swap him or anyone a xbox 360 or Ps3 for an amiga 1200 if they have one on hand to swap :p

25cm deep x 49cm wide x 7cm high / 3.1 Kg (just the console, this excludes the heavy power supply, box, etc... )

6508 ? C64 had 6502 and don't know what the 6508 whas used for. Amiga 500 had Motorola 68000

I think we threw ours away during the last move but it was just the unit nothing else. I will take a look maybe it is still boxed up somewhere...

Lovely Amiga 500 you got there.
If you go ask on Amibay.org I am sure there is some one there with a spare one, luckily there pretty small and I am sure some one can post it down :)
