Photo is not of the actual machine I guess since it's only 1 floppy included in the auction... what to look out for: Is the other floppy drive cover installed? Does it include mouse/keyboard as on the picture? Are all the backplanes installed? Battery was removed.. great.. what about close up picture of the battery area so the buyer can make a fair judgemtn if the jobb is done propperly and no damage is precent?

Since we know how Doomy works and since there's no internal photos available we can assume: mouse/keyboard not included though precent on picture. Floppy cover probably not installed. Small battery damage precent but not so much as it impact the computers performance... YET (or it have started to intermittently impact performance and it's now time to sell this "gem"). It's likely that there are other things missing aswell... he didn't claim it came with a bussboard so he might try hang on to that one since the vanilla machine works fine without.

I'd love to hear how the story ends if there is infact a buyer for this overpriced item.

Reading the comments on the auction it says "As clearly stated in the auction, one disk drive is included. It is a Chinon 880K drive"... yea right... it says whats included is "a disk drive"... one could get the wrong idea and think it's a standard A4000 HD diskdrive and not some cheapo DD diskdrive he have tossed in instead.

As suspected Mouse and keyboard not included.

"I do not need a low-quality, poorly designed Amiga 4000 or 1200 computer. I am having a hard time understanding why you guys love these pieces of {bleep}.".. lol.. that should help sell this "gem" right away.
