It's not going to be worth that much, it doesnt have a good accelerator (almost certainly an A3640), it doesn't have a gfx card, sound card, network card, RAM card, USB card, PCI bridge card etc.

IDE DVD/CDRW combo is worthless, TV is worthless, the toaster is worthless to most Amiga users (should sell separately to enthusiast wanting a toaster to get best price)

Buddah card, while ok is not a great card. It's not in the same league as a toaster flyer, FastATA MKIV, Fastlane or A4091.

Homebrew conversions to PC-Towers 99% of the time LOWER the value of an Amiga, especially A4000D's. But as you are including the old case it wont in this situation.

Do the Zorro slots line up with the slots on the rear of the tower? A great conversion could add £150+ Get some photo's posted to an image hosting website and the links in this thread and lets see how good (or bad) it is.

Not including the toaster, I'd say about £350 including the spare motherboard and old case if the spare motherboard works but is dodgy. A bit more if it is fully working and the PC-Tower is a reasonable conversion. A bit less if it's dead or missing chips especially if you dont know why it's dead.

If the spare motherboard works, and you want to get the top price, buy an ultra cheap A3630/A3400 CPU card (and zorro daughter card?) and get together two working A4000s?

I understand.

I had a look on various websites and you can expect

£40-80 for the Video Toaster 4000
£60-100 for the TBC-IV (if that is what your SYNC thing is)

Why the Time-Base-Corrector is worth more than the video toaster I dunno...

What car is it?

Erm... that's gotta be the ugliest car I've ever seen. The grill makes it look like it has two snooty upturned nostrils :-)

Never owned a rear wheel drive car. But I am sure I'd probably kill myself if I had that car.

I've got enough problems keeping within the speed limit in my 144bhp V6 Mazda. I was on 14 points (and still driving) at one point.

I have thought about restoring a car. Always wanted to get into mechanics (being a microelectronics engineer).

A 1966 Ford mustang cabriolet perhaps? Or a 1993 Lancia Delta HF Integrale with rally trim? No, it would have to be a 1956 Jaguar XK140 Roadster hmmmm :-)

I see you have one of those IDE CF card adapters I've been recommending for A4000 for many years.

You should have sold the video toaster separately though :-(
