WANTED: Amiga 4000/040

[Betelgeuse]

I'm looking for a vanilla A4000/040 (not Toaster edition) in good condition (i.e. no battery damage) and fully working. I'd prefer a local seller (Toronto area, Canada, or at least in Canada.) PM or e-mail me with your asking price if you've got one and are willing to sell.

[Betelgeuse]

Catherder does have one but he'll put it up on eBay, not sure when. Still looking for one, anyone? anyone? Bueller?

Betel,
Just in case you aren't set on an A4000, I have an A2000 with 060 and I am in Brantford.

Thanks but I need an A4000, too bad tho 'cuz I'm in Hamilton.

Okee Dokee,
No problem.

Were you ever a HAUG member? I went to a couple of their meetings, mostly remember the one where they demo'd the A4000. I remember it well because I GURUed the thing.

Pete

No, I never was. I saw my first A4000 at Leppert when they still sold them circa '93 I think.

It's not that I don't want to buy from ebay, problem is finding one in Canada so I don't have to pay expensive shipping and taxes...

[Betelgeuse]

Well, I do have an Atari Falcon030 mint in box, with all manuals and stuff, maybe I should offer that up for a trade. But then again, a Falcon in box with all the stuff is much rarer than an A4000, albeit less useful to me.

[Betelgeuse]

Hey Catherder, so how about selling me that A4000?  :-D

Anyway, I did bid on one of your A1200 boards, and I have a solid 100% rating on ebay too (registered since '98) so I mean what I say. Just name your price  :-)

[Betelgeuse]

I don't mind that it's been worked on, as long as it works well and is in good shape I'd take it. I've been looking for a good one from a Canadian seller for a while, and either got outbid or it went for some insane price. Anyway, let me know once you're ready to part with it. The sooner the better  :-D

[Betelgeuse]

Still looking... Anyway, I'm not looking for a freebie here just something that I can get in Canada (to avoid expensive shipping and taxes) and I'm prepared to pay good money for one that's in a good shape and working.

Yeah, the key to importing parts from the USA is to use USPS ONLY, UPS and FedEx have extortion fees, err I mean brokerage fees...

This is so true. Once I ordered a part and they only shipped via UPS, I think it was a DVD burner or something. It cost me $60, but I had to pay a $40 brokerage fee and $5 or so in taxes. That's criminal almost. I learned my lesson...

[Betelgeuse]

Bump...

Still looking, seems like my leads have dried up or gone silent. PM me if you want to sell one, details in original post. Thanks.

Like I said earlier, I'm not looking for a freebie and will pay a fair price. The reason I'm looking for one here is because I want to get one in Canada, to avoid extra costs associated with shipping, taxes and duties. I check ebay regularly and lost one A4000 that was in Canada, nothing since then however.
