Dick Van Dyke sells his Amiga 4000T on ebay

[Invisix]

It received 29 bids and sold for $986.98 USD.

I don't care what anyone says... I still think this guy totally duped people into believing this was Dick Van Dykes A4000T.

Some people are very gullible.

By the way, here is the link to the relist (auction has ended): http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180208438492

Then I hope he posts the picture and helps to eliminate some of your concern.

I think the unit went for less than it was worth.

The Cybervision card alone goes for over $400USD on eBay and then it had Ethernet, VT 4000, etc. It is worth more than what it sold for even if you don't think DVD owned it.

Regardless, Alex strikes me as a nice person.

You have a right to your opinion.

On the other hand, unsubstantiated opinions are just a lot of hot air.  Is it really more important for you to speak without doing ANY research, at all?  I find that very unkind.

I can't help but think if those pictures were part of the ebay sale, the price might have been much higher!

It would have been nice, but it was not the objective.  Besides which, hindsight is 20/20 ... I didn't even think of that, when I picked up the machine, otherwise I would have taken some picks.  Of course, Dick's schedule did not allow me to get some picks, during the listing :-(

To me, personally, this was a success.  Dick is happy, the guy who bought it is ecstatic and I'm happy ... I really can't ask for more :-)

I hope all of my transactions are as successful (and entertaining) :-)

Its always a real pleasure to work on an A4000T or A3000 ... no matter how much people rave about their new machines, in my heart, the Amiga is still #1 !!!

And check out the replacement computer in the background!  Looks like Dick continues his NewTek ways with a WIndows PC.

Actually, there are 3 PCs there ... however, that 42 inch monitor will work on MACs as well :-)

Westinghouse LVM-42

It doesn't have the high resolution that the MAC 30 inch monitor has, but the size is so that he doesn't need to wear glasses and that resolution is fine for video work.

And yes, I've been lusting after that monitor :-(
