Nice looking A3000 on Ebay Australia
« on: March 28, 2005, 11:48:33 AM »
See here...

I asked the seller about battery leakage and he said that he had removed the battery from day one of operation, funny, I always thought the A3000 needed a battery in order to store SCSI controller information. Additionally, I would like to know how he managed to fit 2 FDD's and 2 HDD's into it, as I doubt I could do that with my A3000. Anyway, its a nice looking A3000 nontheless.

Yeah, I saw that A4000, not a bad setup, postage would be a killer to Melbourne though, then there's the possibility it might not make it intact.

I didn't realise that A4000 was in Sydney until you just said that.  Unfortanately, I won't be bidding; I just bought an A2000 which cleaned me out of 'Amiga money' for now :lol:
If you were interested in buying it, you could always ask for the seller to have it couriered down, it would be safer than post, and shouldn't cost more than $30, I'd say.  I'd be able to help with transfer, but I'm not coming down to Melbourne any time soon, too much rain for my liking :lol:


Now now, Melbourne isn't that wet, we havn't had rain for two days now ;-) Thanks for the offer, but I too am cleaned out of 'Amiga Money' :-D I would like to get my hands on an A4000 eventually, but that won't be for a while ;-(

Sorry, I guess I've never paid too much attention to the guts of my A3000. BTW...my A3000 is pretty nice too, just needs more bloody RAM :-(

I actually know someone who might be selling off an A3000 fully loaded with 16MB of fast RAM, its in pretty good shape too, so I might just sell off mine and buy that along with the CV64 he has sitting there, just have to wait and see, wonder how much mine would fetch..

I saw that A4000 in Sydney went for well over AU$500.

I guess some people feel spending a good percentage of their weekly wage on Amiga's is a wise investment :crazy:

Well any real worthwhile hardware for Amiga comes up so rarely on eBay Australia, so having a whole A4000 with Mutisync monitor and RTG, etc is a very rare find.  I know if I'd had the money, I would have been considering that one.  



Yeah, but it wasn't the greatest A4000, I don't know, I guess I'm just not a true Amiga nut :-D
