It really is amazing how much this stuff is going for now, back in 15 when I gave away all of my stuff and threw out every old PC I had (xt, 286,386,486, Pentium 1,2,3,4 yea I had the whole lot) I checked the prices on eBay and a C64 was going for like $20 an A500 like $100, now? I paid $110 for each of my C64's I have now, the A500 is going for $400 (I paid $299 for mine when I bought it), the HD and ram for it another $300. It's worth if to get it all back, even the monitor pack it up extra well and give it a shot, insure it for like $500 and if it gets damaged you collect the insurance..

I actually bought it back in 18 for like $9 I got the roms needed and then just used WinUAE, now I don't even use the roms anymore from it, when I bought AOS4.1 it came with a rom, as did 3.1.4 and 3.2.. I use those Roms now.. WinUAE is really easy to set up, if you need a quick start to get it running and running pretty solid, go on www.cnetbbs.net and choose support then follow the links to running CNet in WinUAE, it gives you all of the settings needed to run a very stable WinUAE version of 3.1 (Since you already have the disks and roms from AmigaForever).. If you get an hour free give it a shot.. :)
