    Whenever I see an ad starting with the line below or something similar I always wonder does the seller even want to let it go.

    Not looking to negotiate on the price on this, if it doesn’t sell it can be added to my own collection, lovely little item.

    Sometimes it's an item just sitting in a box going unused that someone might want to move on...but get the worth out of it at the same time. €600 seems quite pricey though I must say

    I picked up an Amiga 600 for 25 Euro at a car boot sale recently. Big box of disks to go with it. I never thought I would find one at a car boot sale these days. Chancers online looking for nearly and upwards of 200 for one ! Years ago I picked up a 1990's NES clone from a car boot sale to. Very interesting system, plays every type of NES cartridge including copies...

    Amiga 1200 for 450.... Don't care what anyone says, don't care what fancy extras you put into it, they are not worth this. I have two 1200's I got for scrap a few years back and they are in almost mint condition.

    In general retro game prices are gone insane. Even common <€10 games are now selling for €30+ sometimes. eBay is just a total write off. And people finding stuff in their attic and looking for hundreds for a bag of games that are damp & untested.

    That's a daft price, doesn't even have an accelerator..

    If you think this is bad, check out some of the prices on the big box Amiga stuff :(

    People are thick as shyte even thinking about paying those prices. Go around car boot sales, you might find one for 30 or 40 Euro in the back of a van.

    Ebay can F OFF, everyone with something 20+ years old think they are sitting on a gold mine. Ebay is the reason gobshts on adverts are putting those silly prices on their stuff. The sun will shine out of my ar$e before I pay 450 for an Amiga, and same should be for everyone else, unless your thick of course.

    450 is mental, but it's worth noting though that it's been recapped. Apparently recapping one is quite the pain in the tits.

    Ah its not too bad, most are smd caps so you just need the right tools and technique. Its a whole lot easer then a Vectrex !!

    Its not hard to replace capacitors if you ever used a soldering iron. You can spend 2 hrs or less doing it. Doesn't make it 4 times more valuable after it's done.

    Never said it was worth 450 euro, however with a cap change it's clearly worth more than a stock one.

    I am ****e at soldering for example and don't have the time or inclination to get good any time in the foreseeable future, so would happily pay a good bit more for something that had been future proofed.
