Amiga package - is it worth anything?

I've been having a clear out at home and selling some stuff I don't use any more, and came across my old Amiga. I really haven't played it for ages now, so might get rid, but not sure if its worth anything... The ''package'' is basically an Amiga A600 (decent condition), 2 Zipstiks, mouse, PSU, tv lead and a Workbench disk with the manual (no original box though). I've then got a few games for it...Monkey Island, Flashback, Test Drive 2, Kick Off 2, Skidmarks, Moonwalker(!), Indy %26 The Last Crusade, Speedball 2, Stunt Car Racer, Grand Prix 2, Syndicate, Road Rash and Desert Strike.Not a bad mix I reckon, most of them are Amiga classics. All the games are good condition and boxed with manuals, most are also the original release ''big box'' versions.Is that lot likely to be worth anything? I don't expect to get hundreds of pounds, but then I don't want to give it away at the wrong price either. Any thoughts?Amiga package - is it worth anything?
I'm sure that you'll get a good wad of cash for it after putting it up on eBay or another place-as for the exact price, I'm not sure. (My estimate is 100-150 GBP.)



I'd consider it myself, but not only do I not have the money, I'd rather have an A1200 or an A4000. (I have to have my AGA, you see...)Amiga package - is it worth anything?
Lots of great games there. If they are in good condition you'll get more for them than you will get for the computer. A 600 is not exactly common, but it's not too rare either, and it's not as sought after as the A1200s and the high-end models (mainly A3000 and A4000).Still, you should be able to get about $70 or so for just the computer - perhaps a bit more if you are lucky. And much more for the games. Does it have a harddrive by the way?
No hard drive, it was bought to be used more like a console, which is also why I didn't get one of the high-end Amigas. I did take some pride in the games I bought for it over recent years and I think its a decent collection, although there's still plenty more that I'd get. Maybe I will keep it...Cheers for the input though guys, it sounds like there would be better value in splitting some, if not all of the games and selling separately. To be honest, I'm not really an eBay lover. Its so awash with crap these days that it'll get lost and end up selling for peanuts, unless I then set a high reserve, which'll make it even less attractive.Does anyone know of any good UK-based retro dealer/collector websites?
