I bought an Amiga 500 about 10 months ago. Haven't touched one since way back when (89-90?).
If you are considering doing the same, I recommend going to YouTube and look up two keywords: PiStorm and FS-UAE. These two allow me to prepp a hard-disk image in emulation on my PC, transfer the image to a rPi inside the Amiga and mount it. My Amiga 500 now boots a workbench with all the things I was looking for.
I also bought a new case and keys, because the Amiga was very yellowed. And a new power supply because the old one looks like it wanna burn my house down
