Commodore A4000T

[scuzzb494]

Just curious, does anybody have one of these?  Has anybody seen one in the wild?  They are better-looking than the cool Escom/QuikPak A4000Ts, but I know they are very, very rare.  I wonder how much they'd command in the market these days.

Given that only a couple of hundred found their way into general circulation I would guess serious collectors would pay loads for one, particularly if working and with say some of the original documentation. I have paid close on £1000 for one of my machines cus of the rarity and I wouldn`t want to speculate how much I would invest in one if it came into an auction.

Would have to be with all the original paperwork and hopefully the box. I would pay loads just to get the box to be honest.....

My most wanted is an A3070 and an A1060.

name a price you are looking to Pay. You never know who is likely to respond.:sealed:

Three ways to get gear....

Get it offered to you for free....

Get it offered to you for a price....

Get it through an auction....

I never set the bar with an offer from cold. Generally these days I get the kit for free so it is maintained within my collection. Next week I travel north to pick up someones collection to add to mine. I am not in this for the money. Just to safeguard the Amiga from extinction and to promote the machine and educate.

If anyone thinks they have something of value that I may want on the basis that I would be prepared to shell loads of cash for they are gonna be dissapointed. What has happened though is that folk that offered me stuff for free I have given anything up to £500 for their trouble. For an auction for an A3000T which I won for £320 I gave the guy £500. I have often given folk money when they expected nothing. Thats a better way round for me. I always offer the giver the rights over the machine so if anything happened to me they could have the kit back.

So if anyone wants to give me a Commodore A4000T I would be more than happy to take the machine and store on your behalf, with the likely swapping of a few thousand quid as a sign of gratitude. No guarantees.

I was recently given a KIM-1. It certainly pays to promote your collection by way of a website as people do like seeing their treasures looked after, safe and visible on the internet. I have never sold anything from my computer collection and never will. Eventually it will be gifted to another collector.
