Title: New toy...
Post by: icbrkr on April 18, 2006, 01:23:41 PM
So, uh, was this a good deal?

Sure hope so.. I snagged it :)

Amiga 4000T (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8798038901)

I see me selling an NTSC A1200 to pay for this soon.

Looks like a good deal to me.  It's very rare to see a 4000 go for that price where I live, and it's an 040T as well.  Sweet.

Did it actually come with SCALA InfoChannel on it?  wanna sell  the SCALA to me? :-)

Also, I may be your first A1200 customer :-) Im starting to need one as my CD32/SX32 Pro has PSU problems......doesnt seem to be pasing enough electricity to the HD at times.  I cleaned the contacts and now its fine....hope it stays that way :-)

But Still. I might ned one...........Im in New York.

Since I just bought it moments ago, I don't know what's all in it yet :)  At that price, I really didn't care - a working 4000T for $400 was worth it alone!  I'll be moving my Xsurf and Cybervision out of my A3000 to put in here.

I'll keep you in mind if I sell the 1200.. it's really, really hard to give up miggies... :)

Nice.  I've seen a number of AT A4000Ts go for good BIN prices on eBay.  I wonder if it's because it looks so much like a plain old PC?

When I bought mine (also BIN) a couple years ago for $250 people here were saying it was too much because the aluminum strips at the top of the case weren't perfect.  And it had the full 2+16MB and a toaster in it too!  I wonder if anybody remembers that except me.  I didn't post in the thread for fear of being chided, heh.  It's got a CSPPC, Prometheus/Voodoo3, and Picasso IV in it now.  I do deserve a lashing for how much I paid for the CSPPC :-)

You're going to love that system!  And folks, they have another one (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8798041063&ssPageName=MERC_VIC_ReBay_Pr4_PcY_BID_IT).

Wow.. the other one is up to $300!  Glad I snagged it when i did.

I'm curious if there's any goodies in this besides the basic A4000T.  As it had a toaster, I'm hoping there's a hidden accelerator and such :)

You got a great deal, no doubt.  The other one is over $500 with nearly three hours to go!

I guess I stuck it on my watch list, eBay sent me an email.

I'm going to keep an eye on it just because I'm curious.

So far no sign of the one I bought - but it hasn't been a week yet.  I'm just anxious at this point!

Looks like it ended at $585 - anyone here get it?

@icbrkr

Congratulations, that is Sweet:-D  I remember how excited I was (still am) when I finally bought mine 2 months ago.

Let us know the details when it arrives.

Got it yesterday.. unfortunately, no accelerator, nothing special at all.  Bone stock A4000/25 with 8MB of Fast RAM.   Looks like the power supply had been replaced with a PC one, and the floppy drive cable was missing.  However, it works and I spent the evenin trying to get all my other stuff in there.  Since there weren't any spare rails, I put everything in there with pull ties :)  I'll spend more time tonight messing with it to see how well it works.
