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? Here goes...
