"Commodore Amiga 500 For Sale..."

Just before i put this on eBay, comes fully boxed with all the necessary leads etc, and a mouse. Currently there are no games or instruction booklets, but i am waiting on these, as the console was recently given to me to be sold, and this person is still looking for them. So how much would i be looking to get for it, with or without games?? Cheers in advance...

a bog standard 500??
not much i'm afraid mate.. about £20 i'd say

Sounds good enough, but they arent going for much on eBay atm...

I never found the booklets, but put it on anyway. It just finished today, and made £19.50, easiest £20 i've ever made. Specially since I rescued the thing from going on the tip... There's a few going in my local paper for a coupla quid, so i might buy a few and chuck them on aswell...

Bear in mind that for true Amiga authenticity you have to sell the machine with the most useless and rubbish games in existence. Wahey! I bought an Amiga? Oh, wait, what's this? Captain Planet and Bart Vs The Space Mutants? Hurrah.

Hang your head in shame. You talk of the Amiga like its rubbish and useless. It was ahead of its time, had some great games and you could word process through your Tv. In my view, had there been a decent affordable hard disk for the 500, maybe now we would be using a much better different machine

I concur - in the computer/gaming world, the Amiga was king.

This was back when PC's were so crap you'd have to put the screen size to the dimensions of a postage stamp, just to play Doom, and the best consoles available were the Master System and NES.

What? Bart vs the space mutants was class. Damn hard though, the furthest i got was the power plant.

Amiga forever emulation software (the best of the lot) going at my Clearout IV

...I dont think I even made it that far! Was a very hard game, my most recallable memory of it was on the first level annoying the hell out of Moe on the phone ;)

- The Amiga was well ahead, no doubt about it - I despised PC users, they were unenlightened, but here we all sit today, typing away on one (or a MAC, or even on a Dreamcast if they didn't pull the internet plug yet ;p)
