What is the going rate for a Sam 440 Flex 667 MB with 1 Gig ram OS4.1 and a Radeon 9250? I bought it from Amigakit when they first came out and it has been babied ever since. I'm just checking - if I sold it and perhaps another classic system the money would go straight back to Amigakit for a Sam 460. I'll never afford the X1000 so that's out and I already have MorphOS for my mini registered as well as many classic systems.
This would probably be my last OS4 hardware upgrade if it happens.
It's actually a completely built system in an Antec NSK 3480 case (with original shipping box), a sata DVD-RW, and a 160 Gig sata HD right now. I could part it or not depending on buyers wants - needs. Or you could all talk me out of it but I am really wanting a 460.

I just logged in to Amigakit and I paid $881.45 on May 23, 2009, the case and DVD-RW were purchased locally for about another $120.00. I think I have about $1000.00 in to it.
I have been on here for 8 years or so and several people on Amiga.org can vouch for me as reliable when it comes to buying and selling things.
Thanks,
Jeff

I would hazard slightly less than one of these:

Yes, I realize that. Thanks for your input :D

hi Jeff, I just did the same with my Samflex@800 recently to help fund my X1000..I sold quite effortlesly at $850 USD just MB, Ram & Video card so I would guess yours would sell for slightly less than that
-
Well, it's a nice system and at this point more solid than the 460 from what I have read (IE no problems with on board SATA, ECT) Thanks again for the replies. I'll certainly entertain offers. I would REALLY prefer not to ship it overseas though.

a little less than a year ago i purchased a gently used SAM440ep-flex board (running at 667MHz), 512MB of RAM, a radeon 9250 video card, and OS4.1, for $600 USD. of course that was on ebay -- but the seller had listed it also on AWN.

@eliyahu
That's a pretty good deal! How do you like the system so far? What case did you choose?
@TheBilgeRat
I knew I could count on you! :D

I was gonna say about $600 myself since that is about what I been thinking about spending for an Amiga compatible myself. Almost tempted to make a firm offer of $600 + shipping but part of me holding back saying for my 1st modern Amiga I should go the newer 460 or I may kick myself for not doing so but the other side says if I can find a real nice complete ready to use older model for about $600 I would do it as my 1st system.
I am too new to Amiga that I really need to buy a ready to go system versus buying a board and making my own since I know very little about OS 4.1 or even AmigaOS in general so an older 440 Flex would probably work for me.

i love it. it has become the machine i use for virtually everything non-productive, i.e., e-mail, videos, sound recording, games, IRC, etc. at first it was in a huge apevia ATX tower but has since migrated to a much smaller antec NSK-1380. i'd like to go smaller, but i need the ability to use full-height PCI cards.
good luck with the sale!

@eliyahu
Love the case!

uh I know you want to sell your board but I'd stay clear of such comments as ACube has proved that they provide quality products with great support
-
Sorry, it certainly wasn't meant as a slam. When I first purchased my Sam Flex the full 1 Gig or ram wouldn't work properly. They (all involved) fixed it with a software update very quickly and it has worked fine ever since.
I simply meant that with a new system there will be some time working out bugs, both by end users, and software - hardware developers. I didn't even think of it being received like that so I pulled the comment. Whether you choose to do the same with your post is up to you.
Thanks for your input.

I figured as much Jeff but just making sure the trolls don't smell blood and start scavenging again :lol:
good luck in selling your Samflex..I'm already missing mine
-
Not only does Acube provide top notch products and support, so does Amigakit and Hyperion!
Don't get me wrong I love my Flex and have no regrets about buying it. It's just that never ending thirst for upgrades to new hardware and software that is tempting:) BTW does anyone know if the Sam 460 ships with a cover plate for the ports on the rear of the case yet?

@ Jeff
you're talking to the converted already here mate..patiently awaiting my X1000:afro:
