Hi all,
Time has come to sell my trusty A4000, it has a buddha card, idefix, dvd drive cd burner, hard drive and floppy, battery has been replaced, it has 2mb chip and 16mb fast ram, it has a toaster and video sync?? card in it, boots and works great comes with cables, and a 15" tv plus mouse, keyboard and joystick i can email anyone photos if you want them, also should mention its in a lovely black pc tower and the original case is also supplied with a spare motherboard, now i honestly don't know what it's worth so if anyone wants to tell me what to expect for it then great, if i don't get any responses then i'll bay it, but would much rather it went to someone on here that would get some good use from it.
regards, Justin
forgot to mention it has a CF card slot with a 512MB CF card
-
how much would it be to send to Sydney australia? then i'll workout a price
-
Hey there, I'm interested, check your PM :-)

Hmmm. Dare say im interested, too. Not sure whether it'll be in my price range, though (Almost certainly wont...) :-D
-
hi all,
like i said, what do you guys thinks it's worth?
-
It's not going to be worth that much, it doesnt have a good accelerator (almost certainly an A3640), it doesn't have a gfx card, sound card, network card, RAM card, USB card, PCI bridge card etc.
IDE DVD/CDRW combo is worthless, TV is worthless, the toaster is worthless to most Amiga users (should sell separately to enthusiast wanting a toaster to get best price)
Buddah card, while ok is not a great card. It's not in the same league as a toaster flyer, FastATA MKIV, Fastlane or A4091.
Homebrew conversions to PC-Towers 99% of the time LOWER the value of an Amiga, especially A4000D's. But as you are including the old case it wont in this situation.
Do the Zorro slots line up with the slots on the rear of the tower? A great conversion could add £150+ Get some photo's posted to an image hosting website and the links in this thread and lets see how good (or bad) it is.
Not including the toaster, I'd say about £350 including the spare motherboard and old case if the spare motherboard works but is dodgy. A bit more if it is fully working and the PC-Tower is a reasonable conversion. A bit less if it's dead or missing chips especially if you dont know why it's dead.
-
Hi Alexh,
thankyou for your assesment, that at least helps me with pricing ;o) i'll put some pictures on here in a mo,
regards, Justin
-
If the spare motherboard works, and you want to get the top price, buy an ultra cheap A3630/A3400 CPU card (and zorro daughter card?) and get together two working A4000s?
-
i'm selling this to help fund the car i'm restoring, so don't really want to spend any more on it, lol spent enough already!! ;o)
-
I understand.
I had a look on various websites and you can expect
£40-80 for the Video Toaster 4000
£60-100 for the TBC-IV (if that is what your SYNC thing is)
Why the Time-Base-Corrector is worth more than the video toaster I dunno...
What car is it?

Erm... that's gotta be the ugliest car I've ever seen. The grill makes it look like it has two snooty upturned nostrils :-)

lol thats fair enough, i've always loved them, and mine is a bit special at it now produces 270bhp at the rear wheels ;o)))
-
Never owned a rear wheel drive car. But I am sure I'd probably kill myself if I had that car.
I've got enough problems keeping within the speed limit in my 144bhp V6 Mazda. I was on 14 points (and still driving) at one point.
I have thought about restoring a car. Always wanted to get into mechanics (being a microelectronics engineer).
A 1966 Ford mustang cabriolet perhaps? Or a 1993 Lancia Delta HF Integrale with rally trim? No, it would have to be a 1956 Jaguar XK140 Roadster hmmmm :-)
-
Classic car the 2002, I wouldn't call it a moose personally.
-
I've always wanted to restore a classic car, and as i work for Ferrari the obvious choice was a BMW! lolol
-
OK i've now decided to list this on Ebay, i think i could end up getting a little more for it as sometimes people get into a bidding war. Thanks to those who responded to this but i think it will go for more than the $60 one person offered me (including shipping! lol)
all the best Justin

some of the photos are now starting to show in the gallery

I've got one of those cases :-D
(White, with a 233Mhz PC inside...)
Actually, I wonder if any computer shops still sell towers like that one with 5+ 5.25" bays? I would have thought that those towers would have become popular again, what with all the cheap drives and PCI IDE cards. Sigh. (I wonder how many 2GB IDE drives I could fit in such a tower - PC or Amiga - The mind reels...:crazy:...)
-
I take it it's not listed yet? Post the auction number when you have it listed please.
Alex H,
I'd love a 56 Jaguar roadster in black with light brown or biscuit leather interior. Lovely.

auction number is 300235780717

i think this must have been an amiga case as the Zorro slots line up as do all the motherboard connections? am i right?
-
I see you have one of those IDE CF card adapters I've been recommending for A4000 for many years.
-
Must be :-D
The Amiga version probably just differs with the mobo and backplane mounts. I've seen other PC cases that look exactly the same from the outside as some of the towerised Amigas here on A.org.
-
You should have sold the video toaster separately though :-(
-
just to let you all know it's been relisted, buyer mistook it for a real a4000t? (somehow) ah well ;o)
