300 US$ ONLY?

Man; considering this is arguably the best Amiga ever built I am amazed the price isn't higher yet. I have seen these in Europe go for waaaay more.

I consider myself very lucky when I bought one including a desktop 3000 and a Powermac together for 200 euro on Ebay a year ago. Had to drive 300KM to pick it up; but hey.

Currently I am looking to buy an A3500; these are really rare. I know one here in Holland; now all I have to do is get the guy to sell..... :)

I am just curious: do you value the A3000T more than the A4000T? Why?


Personaly; I do. But then again; that's my personal favorite.

Why? Basically because the A3000T has almost anything the 4000T has; except for AGA. But added it has an integrated kick-ass Flicker Fixer, everything is socketed/upgradable and takes A4000 accelerators.

Also; the overall build quality feels much better then the A4000T, 4000T's have a tendency to burn off the power supply connector to the mainboard...

Downsides to the 3000T are lack of AGA and the usage of highly sought after (ie: expensive) ZIPP memory modules. And possibly the lack of an IDE interface; although in my 4000T i don't use it at all.

I do agree "out of the box" the 4000T would have a slight advantage; but adding an accelerator and a gfx card with passthrough (like mine with a CV64) to a 3000T would give it the advantage for me.

It's a hypothetical question though; as I own a 4000T, a 3000T and a A3000T-040. Just working on getting me an A3500... :)
