German Amiga Community

Hi guys,

Sorry i'm doing this post in English because meine schriftliche Deutsch ist nicht so gut. (I'm a native Dutch speaker ;-))
I'm reducing my Amiga collection by offering an extremely rare A500 on Ebay.
http://www.benl.ebay.be/itm/Rare-Collec ... RK:MESE:IT

I'm located in Belgium but I'll be shipping worldwide. I'm also still working on keeping the shipping costs as low as possible.

The Amiga 500 is one of 1st series that were made by Commodore in 1987 with the following properties:

• - The square Commodore logo is moulded into the case: This one is very rare and only found on the first Amiga-500s.
  - Keyboard with lower keytabs and a C= key on the left side instead of an 'A' key
  - The Power led is red instead of green.
  - Embossed logo at the bottom of the case.
  - 5 figures serial number: 43914 !
  - The case is still sealed and has never been opened.
  - The Amiga 500 has 512K RAM on board
  - Kickstart 1.2

This VERY EARLY A500 with Kickstart 1.2 has a RED power LED instead of a GREEN power LED like the other Amiga 500s. On the RED LED version when the audio filter changes the light goes off instead of dimming.

For the vintage collectors amongst you.

Amiga rulez ,


Just got a question On [Google+ Amiga Community regarding the motherboard revision of this Amiga 500. https://plus.google.com/118112820771449 ... i6nhi6doe7
I share my answer here:

As this is an Amiga from the very first batch of Amiga 500, it must be Revision 3. As the Warranty seal is still intact i can't open it because i want the future buyer to purchase an authentic piece of Amiga history.
According to Sysinfo it has PAL OCS which means Agnus 8371 and Denise 8362.

You can see some pics on my Google Drive link.

Hi Mo! Warranty seal still intact doesn´t mean its never been open.... There was a lot of seller who got this seal as back up from C#

Hi Stallone I didn't know that. Are these seals from the sellers distinguisable from the Commodore factory ones?

The bidding is at 10€ right now.

It is still not so rare and exclusive.

Well I must admit that this is a very low price indeed
I will think again before offering an auction on Ebay.
It's a pity, because I was selling this Amiga 500 for funding a new accelerator card for my other A500.
I'll put that in the fridge for a while
