The specs of this particular Amiga are very far from standard.

It contains:
A1200 motherboard.
Phase 5 50MHz 68060 Blizzard accelerator card.
Phase 5 SCSI interface card.
Zorro II Bus Board.
32MB RAM.
Buddha & Catweazle IDE and HD floppy interface.
1.5GB Hard Drive.
SCSI CD Writer.
IOBlix high speed comms card.
880K floppy disk.


Standard A1200 Specifications:

CPU: Motorola 68EC020 @ 14 MHz.
Graphics: AGA chipset (Advanced Graphics Architecture).
Display: Max 640 x 512 (PAL Interlaced) up to 262,144 colours in HAM-8 mode.
Sounds: 4 × 8-bit channels.
Memory: 2MB RAM (expandable).
Software Media: 880K floppy disk.

Value: £35 - £55 depending on software and included expansions. 
A1200s in Tower systems with extra processors and bus boards could go for as much as £300 or more. 68060 cpu accelerators can sell for £300 on their own, so bear this in mind.

And here is a video about some of the software I use, and have used, on the Amiga.
