My AmigaONE when the X1000 comes...
Just popping in

I have been thinking a bit about this... If I can afford - and justify - buying the X1000 this coming summer, my trusty Micro will not be used anymore.

So I have given some thought to these solutions...

1. I could sell directly to another user.

2. A dealer - perhaps Amigakit - could take my Micro as trade-in discount for the X1000 and sell it refurbished.

I believe a Micro could still be an interesting machine for some people. I have put 512 meg in mine and with a new graphics card, well

3. I could do a Trevor and offer it free to a developer in exchange for some nice and brand new software for OS4.

Well, that's the options, really. What do you guys think? Have you thought about giving your "old" AmigaONE up, when the new machine is here?

Option 2 and 3 might seem a good opinion. It certainly's worth trying. If not, then let your Micro go under the Classified section of net sites like this one, eventual
EBay or something like that. Many are doing that..

You still have one more month to keep these things in mind

I am very happy with my Amiga One XE 800 Mhz and I never give up.you must conserve the Micro to put in good use and then buy the nearly coming AmigaOneX1000,yes.

Doing so you can test software on both machines having different tastes of the thing.

How do you see now man?

I've been pondering that myself - what to do with my A1-XE. I'd love to hold onto it, but with 4 towers currently living under my desk, I simply don't have the space for a 5th, so I'd probably have to sell the A1... And, with the X1000 on the market I'm sure the price of A1s will drop significantly... Still, I guess loaning it to a developer is a good option!

I personally would loan it to a developer cause we can all benefit from new software ..but if you really need the money to buy the X1000 then sell it on ebay is your best bet

I think the trick if you go the route of selling it, is to sell it now, rather than after the X1000 is out. I sold my '060 towered A4000 when the A1 was starting to look really likely to come true. There was still a good market and decent prices at that point for an '060 4000.

It meant falling back to Amiga Forever for a while, which drove me nuts. But it also meant I could afford to buy the A1-XE.

What do you guys think?
Would the 'Paper - Rock - Scissors' decision engine work? =:o

Have you thought about giving your "old" AmigaONE up, when the new machine is here?
A "Rock" solid NO. I'm going to save my "Paper" money for awhile. I'll give the X1000 a year's trial before even thinking about a purchase. My A1 is good for another year!

I know what i will do. No planning. Just buy the damn thing, play with it and then if it does what i want probably sell my A1.
