Finally letting it go, Commodore Amiga 4000T:

Wasn't this the one up for sale with that weird auction a few months back, I recognize the pale wooden flooring.

Yeah, it does ring a bell from that website count down price auction held a while back. I know the non-AT Commodore Amiga 4000T is a rare beast - I guess someone out there will be willing to buy it for the right price. I think GBP3500 is a bit steep but of course that is just my opinion.
Found the old link here: http://www.bigbookofamigahardware.com/commodore-amiga-4000t-for-sale.aspx
And EAB forum topic for the original sale: http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=69432
Hopefully someone steps up to take it off the seller's hands.

What is this non AT? Amiga Technologies?

This does indeed look like a genuine Commodore A4000T, the only amiga I would sell an organ for... Problem is I don't have any to sell at the moment :-/

Amiga Technologies produced the A4000T after Escom bought the rights, but it didn't have such a nice case.

Well, just to nitpick: The case is identical. It's the front fascia that's different. But I agree that the Commodore one is nicer :)

At least shipping is cheap :)

Wow so cool its the only amiga ive never sen in person and i've seen almost all of them. Even the Boxer, Access 1200, Viscorp prototype, Walker, and others! Having said that this machine is not worth over $5k us! thats insane
It does look better than the at version, but the at version looks more modern to me.
Man I regret selling my 4000T i sold it when I got my peg2 but now i'm into classics again and miss it like crazy. I had a Cyberstorm PPC and Cvision, vlab motion/tocatta, firecracker tons of stuff!
-
Everything from the motherboard, ROMS, and features is identical between the CBM and the Amiga Technologies version except the front lower plastic ventilation slots on the plastic front. Both cases are Enlight versions of a standard AT Tower case.
Personally, I believe the A4000T is a brilliant design with both IDE and 4091 controllers, tons of room for drives, a coin cell battery, addition of a standard AT style battery connector, standard AT power supply and ease of access to all the insides.

I bet you could find a nearly identical full tower case in the vintage computer section.
My personal favourite was the 3000 Tower. It was a real upgrade from the A2000.

If you could that would be great, cheers.

The case is damaged as well. 3.5k is madness
-
Bill Gates was looking for a A4000T the other day. I'll let him know that this one is available.
-
That's crazy money. What's in it that makes it worth that kind of money?
-
We are all whining because we cant afford it! There are many lovers of Amiga that have plenty of money! Dont sell it cheap :) Its a rarity!

Yes, and as my wife politely replied to me regarding this topic; EVERY Amiga person would love to buy this machine, if one had this kind of loose money available! As simple as that, I think.

Slightly interesting: the date stamped on the inside of my Escom 4000T's metal cover is 1986. That could either be a misprint, or Enlight must have had a huge surplus of these cases that Commodore/Escom snatched up, presumably for peanuts.

I'd be kind of shocked if anyone was making cases like that (and in that form factor) in 1986. Then again, my memory's been known to be off before. ;)
-
I don't hate, but I guess I just don't understand. Spending that kind of money on something that equates to little more than bragging rights to a bunch of Amiga people you probably don't even know is mindless.
But if it was mine to sell, I'd probably do the same thing.
Just MHO.
-
The AT one is not too bad fully loaded.
-
Is it still for sale?
-
As for as I recall, he puts it up for sale every few months, and then no one wants to pay that much and it is dropped; email him and see.
You can pick up an Amiga Technologies version with a slightly different lower plastic piece for around $900 to $1200 USD stock depending on condition; many (like mine) are fully expanded with enough stuff to make a Christmas goose envious -- they go for a wee bit more to cover the costs of the CSPPC, Mediator, Deneb, Radeon 9200, Indivision AGA, DVD-R/W in SATA and IDE, wickedly large SCSI-3 15K 147 GB HDDs, ZorRam, and stuff.

Thanks for your help. I have sent a message to him on eBay so it will be interesting to see what he says.

He posts on the Amiga forums as well; pm him as "bitman"
