[ ... go ahead, eat my bits ... ]

Just had an interesting conversation with one of our local Amiga
dealers.  They've sold most of their initial allocation of B2000's
(10 units), which were all "bundled" systems (Bridge, 5.25" drive,
hard disk, etc.)

Most sales were to A1000 owners, and they were using the $1000
trade-in.  What was interesting though, was the purchaser could
then turn around and buy back their A1000 for $300!  I dunno if
this was limited to the original owner (of the A1000) or not.

The dealer made this sound like this "buy-back" was Commodore a
supported deal.  Also mentioned that A1000's that weren't bought
back would be picked-up by Bally.
