If you are looking for an Amiga 1000 (Refurbished by Commodore) and a
new 1080 Monitor for $850.00 US then give these guys a call. As of
yesterday, they still had over 300 in stock.

I have gotten 1 new and 2 refurbs from them and believe it or not, my
refurbs are better than the new one, except for some minor blems.
My new one is of day one vintage, and the refurbs must incorporate all
the latest updates in firmware etc.
Best of Luck

I have had so many inquires about the $850 Amiga with Monitor, I thought
I can shed some more light on the subject.
The Amiga 1000 is "Refurbished by Commodore" a sticker on the
box and under the lower cover states that very clearly in
white on blue.
The Amiga 1080 Monitor is New.
The warranty is 90 days, which is honored by Micro World and
I assume also Commodore.
The two refurbs I bought were of receint vintage. The most
notable is that the drives are "QUIET". I have run the
"HALFBRITE" program and note they do not support both modes.
My only suggestion is that the refurbs are about as close as
you are going to come to the best Amiga Deal around. Backed
by Commodore, for those of modest budgets, I do not think
you can go wrong. This is not to say, that Commodore may
have a new promo in the works, once these are gone.
The address again is

As a side note, a friend of mine just ordered one of the $850 Amigas with monitor. The deal he got was $1130 with the 256k expansion and external drive. I believe that price also included the shipping and insurance. lachac@topaz.rutgers.edu
