Why 3? Don't you want to help him pay his uni tuitions? I think if he's waiting to pay it by selling this, he will be kicked very soon :(

What is that idiot going on about?  He wants to swap that hunk of junk for 300 pounds + someone else's A4K case?  :lol:

I believe the eBay seller has defined and established a new psychiatric test that encompasses both abject stupidity and undeniable insanity.  I expect to see it as part of the next Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Sixth Edition (DSM-6).  We should thank him for his excellent work in this field!

No one else thinks it looks like a Mondrian?

Well the case looks like kindergartners attacked it with fingerpaints, if that's of any help.

And just when I thought there wasn't a way to make the A4000 case any less attractive, BAM!

"You know, you're right.  I might be crazy, but it must be a lunatic you're looking for."

But, D-mn, that does seem the (lack of) inspiration for the case!  Now if we open it up will we find Shirley Jone's signature?

So you give him your good A4000 case and he gives you that.  And you still have to pay 300? Novel.

Well he will send you "Plus Free 80 Giga Byte HDD. Plus Free Mouse!"
All that for free after sending him your case and paying £300 xD

Insane, I have a hard time looking at it, how did he think when making that?, even put time in masking and painting the hard drive xD

That's one partly yellowed Amiga id stay away from ;)
