Mint A4000/040 w/1942 monitor on eBay
« on: May 04, 2008, 06:41:57 PM »
Someone is going to get a beautiful mint condition A4000/040 from eBay when this auction is over.

I don't have the money, and really don't need another computer in the house, but I sure would like to have an A4000 that is in as good of condition as this one in my collection.

Not my auction, as I would obviously keep this one.

The seller is going just a wee overboard with the description IMHO.

The keyboard is clearly filthy (not "mint mint mint")

The mouse is obviously stained from use..

Some light discoloration on the front bezel (and what looks like a possible nick in one area)

"Little old ladies" probably didn't have their A4ks fitted with toasters, either. :lol:

Anyway, it's still a very nice unit, probably could be perfect with a little care/cleanup. Original boxes may be a plus, but also no disks or manuals..




I agree that the seller has embellished the description a bit and further doubt that it was owned by a "Little Old Lady", but the keyboard looks perfectly clean to me.  Perhaps it is time to clean your monitor or LCD, the dust must be sticking to the screen. :lol:

A few months ago when I decided to get an A2000, I got one off eBay which, with shipping, was about $100. I thought it was going to be a bone stock machine.

$100 is way too much for a bare-bone stock A2000, you are lucky it had those parts inside.

I have seen piles of A2000s for sale at AmiWest for $40 each and most had a SCSI controller w/HD inside.
