Title: Worst auction picture ever! A4000T
Post by: spihunter on January 21, 2007, 02:42:30 AM
This has got to be one of the worst pics of an amiga in an auction that I've seen in awhile.

Not only is it on a bed, but it looks like its about to fall off!

It doesn't matter :) The AT A4000T is probably the ugliest Amiga that went into production ever.

Is this one beautiful too  :lol:


Obviously what's inside matters a lot. It actually went for £620.00 due to it having a CyberstormPPC :-)

Ignore me I'm just trying to work out what 3,001,330,335 X 6 is equal to. Oh of course it's 140067018795 :lol:


 :eek:


EDIT - changed my calculation in case the buyer really does want to keep his identity to himself ;-)

Ugly or not, since the release of IBrowse 2.4, I've been deeply inspired to replace my girlfriend's UltraSparc 20 with a functional Amiga.
I don't know if bidding was a good idea or not, but, que sera, sera.

Well considering the last two CyberstormPPC's that I saw go through Ebay went for £465.00 and £485.00, I think you did the right thing. Especially as you have a Grex and an A4000 Desktop as well. Prehaps a second coat of lilac though  :lol:

An A4000T without a door is like a scooter.
It is still fun to ride but you don't want your mates to see.

But... I won't have a A4000D or G-Rex...

@AMC258

Sorry but I thought you were coming forward as the buyer of old lilac :cry:


To be honest, the maximum bid of the winner could have been anything up to £1,000. Ain't it annoying when you don't know how high you would have had to bid  :-x
