20 dorra and it's yours.
It has no keyboard.
It came from the Cleveland Institute of Art, which is still slapped on it, so I assume it works.
if not, it's not like it'd be hard to fix. Finding a keyboard is the tricky part.
I forgot i had this

You know what they say about "untested" when used by sellers... (http://junk.tg-16.com/images/pcds.png)

that it's got STDs?
It's untested because I don't have a keyboard, lol.

maybe interested!

I'm teasing you, but seriously, I don't know where that Amiga has been...

Good. I'd like it out on the cheap since I cant confirm its working status.
If I can't move it by June at the CCAG... it's going in the trash.

The last thing I need is another hobby computer on top of all my old Apples, but this is tempting....

Oh, I'd love this if shipping wasn't $541574186841.
You should open it up in case it's one of the signed ones. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amiga_1000#Design

what kind of oldappleshit do you have?!
I got an Apple IIc Plus waiting to be f*cked with.
I've got a nullmodem cable on the way so I can get ProDOS going. Kinda worthless without that... and no disks to pop in it, lol

I have:
- an Apple //c Plus (with the matching 13" AppleColor monitor, not the 9" monochrome green screen)
- an 8Mhz Apple //gs (ROM3) with 5.25MB RAM, 100MB SCSI hard drive (really need to upgrade this to something larger)
- tons of Apple // & //gs software and misc. hardware
- an all-original Macintosh 512k
- a Macintosh Plus (4MB RAM, 100MB external SCSI hard drive) we bought new in 1987 (still have the original sticker sheet!)
- a Macintosh SE FDHD (with 16Mhz CPU upgrade, 4MB RAM, original 40MB hard drive)
- a Macintosh IIsi (2gig HD, Radius 24-bit video card, running System 6.0.8-- super fast, in storage)
- a Macintosh IIfx (dual internal HDs, a 2 gig and a 1 gig, bought new by someone else in 1990 for a whopping $11,000)
- a Macintosh SE/30 (currently out of commission, in storage- leaky caps)
- a Macintosh Classic II (currently out of commission, in storage- leaky caps)
- a Macintosh Centris 650 with a PowerPC 601 CPU (not the Motorola 68040!, currently in storage- blown power supply)
- a pile (in storage) of about 12 miscellaneous models of the vintage all-in-one black & white Macs in varying states of disrepair
That's about it for the pre-1995 stuff.
About 12 years ago, give or take, I was the lucky (or unlucky, depending on your point of view) recipient of a flatbed truckload of obsolete vintage Apple/Mac computer equipment being dumped by the University of Washington. It was free, I just had to unload the truck. I ended up with (at the time) around 50 complete computer systems from Mac 512ks and //gs's all the way up to Quadra 800s.
Over the years I've restored and sold off most of the sale-worthy machines. I got as much as $90 back in 2004 or 2005 for a fully restored SE/30! Not a bad return on something that was free. I kept the best specimen of each model for my personal collection, and now I have that pile of raped and pillaged carcasses sitting in my garage. I could probably build two or three more working units out of the parts but I just don't have the time.
I'm especially partial to the Mac Plus, since it's the very same unit I played MacGolf and Tetris on as a kid back in the late 80s. Around 2003 the power supply/vertical sweep board melted but I was able to replace it with a board from an otherwise dead unit from my big haul, so no harm done. The same year the original 40MB hard drive also died (seized up) so I replaced it with a salvaged 100MB drive.
Unfortunately, I don't have time to play with this stuff like I used to. It's sad, because I really enjoy a lot of the old games and programs for these machines. When I do, it's mostly on the //c Plus and //gs these days. If you're looking for software, as I indicated, I have a large library. PM me if you're looking for something, maybe I can help you out.

f*ck yes.
I too have the Apple IIc Plus w/ Monitor, pilfered from OldMans basement. WITH the external disk drive.
PM sent.
well, about to be sent.
loads of free old computer shit on trucks is awesome. I used to do that with C64s
