Well folks, Commodore is finally trying to orphan the A-1000. They
have reinstituted the A-1000 trade in towards a A-2000 deal. Here
are the prices.
Your A-1000 plus $999 for a 2000
Your A-1000 plus $1599 for a 2000HD
Your A-1000 plus $2999 for a 2500/30
Here is the BIG catch - you MUST turn in your machine to
your dealer who in turn MUST send the KEYBOARD back to CBM in
order to get credit for the tradein - NO customer or dealer
buy backs of the A-1000 as last time. Plus, CBM parts NO longer
sells the A-1000 keyboards to dealers/repari centers.
Now, if you can talk your dealer into selling you your A-1000
back for the price of his rebate (which varies depending on which
system is purchased) you may be able to work something out.
Hmmm. a step foreward?? I am not sure if it is or not...
Oh well, on the brighter side there is a nice large article
is this weeks issue of Resellers News on the new Commodore Educational
policy. It is almost a full page...

The above figures sure don't look to good do they? Well tell you what I'm gonna do. If anyone wants to take advantage of this deal, I'll do one better. I'll give you $200 for your A1000 (provided it works) and you give me the educational discount price. I'll use my student status to buy the machines under the discount plan and have it sent to you. Good deal don't you think. You get a better deal than Commodore will give you and I'll get a 2nd Amiga. :-) -- Craig Barnhart Usenet: gmr@mentor.cc.purdue.edu 436 S.
