[comp.sys.amiga] Quest for Cheap Amiga's: Some Suggestions...

lbrown@apctrc.UUCP (Lawrence H. Brown) (03/12/88)

	I've been shopping for a couple different people, including
my mother (she sold her PC) for the better deals on the Amigas.

I've also received a couple e-mail asking me to post some places
to check out.

This is the result of my research, and includes names & prices.

There are folks that don't like this kind of posting so if thats the 
case please hit "n" now.

I'm operating on some assumptions, but I've tried to verify the data
and prices wherever possible, if I goofed, sorry. Sing out and let
us know the score.

Ready?
