I hate to do this, but...

My local dealer has lots of Amiga 500's. One problem, though: they're
all bundled up in a "package deal". I don't need a package. I have a
monitor, a disk drive, all the software I need, even Workbench 1.3 --
I just don't happen to own an Amiga of my own (this one is a loaner
from work, and I feel uncomfortable about doing non-work stuff on it).
He said he'd have to special-order an A500 keyboard for me, and that
the lowest price he could do on quantity-one was something like $800.
For the bare keyboard. After New Years. Without the expansion to 1MB.
Which would add another $200. All of which added together means no
hard drive until next fall.  So:

Are there any mail order places selling LEGITIMATE Amiga 500's? (by
which I mean, "non-grey-market"... otherwise the warranty is no good,
and from all accounts the A500 needs all the warranty it can get ;-).
Please reply by mail, and send all flames about my poor hardpressed
local dealer to /dev/null (if I had the money I'd buy it from him,
but, hey, I NEED that hard drive).
