I might be mistaken but those floppy disk drives.. look "empty" ?
Yes it looks like there are no floppy drives included, just the faceplates. Also I can't see a CPU card. And, looking at the fouth picture, looks like the kickstart ROMs have been removed?
Ended at just over $200 - a very good price for an A3000T (if it was complete and working).
The A3000D and A3000T floppy spaces did not have face plates, they are part of the front of the case that cannot be removed. There are covers to hide the floppy drive access holes in the front cover of the computer when no floppy is installed. Kind of cool looking, I wish the A3000+ with AGA had been put into mass production, I would prefer it to the A4000. The one thing I agree with Doomy about is that I think the A3000T is the most rare and sought after Amiga model. I need another Amiga like a bullet hole to my head, but I still want one and would gladly trade a towerized A4000D for one. I don't think it is worth $850 to $1200 USD, but if in good working condition, clean and not stripped of cards and floppies, it is worth more than $200.
Commodore was on the ropes and trying to cut costs as much as they could when they produced the A4000, as such it received many poor reviews when first released IIRC, as it was too little too late to save the Amiga and Commodore from going bankrupt (and yes, I do know that it was not the Amiga that was the cause of Commodore going bankrupt, it was mismanagement and losing money on their PC sales, where they could not compete)
