Thank you for your interest in this listing:

380370650569 - Ultimate Amiga 4000T. Loaded.

Unfortunately, the listing is no longer available. We understand that this may be disappointing, but sometimes we need to remove listings to protect buyers.

There are three main reasons why we remove listings:

-- The listing doesn't follow eBay guidelines.
-- The item isn't allowed on eBay or can only be listed under certain conditions.
-- The listing contains pictures or words in it that may have created copyright or trademark issues.

I got as far as $600 (Hey it had Free international shipping) , and I gave up, I might have gone up to around AU$1000, but I was going to think about it, now its gone.

The listing stated that he would sell it for the first $1800 right at the top of the description. He probably got offered that much within hours of listing it. It does sound like a very rare A4000T, maybe even rarer than the commodore ones. A motherboard with slots for 128mb of ram and an 060 processor card with slots for another 512mb. They didn't make very many of those.

Perhaps, but if he got his immediate offer of $1800, it would still be listed but as a Closed/Finished auction, and Ebay would not have sent out the email saying it was "REMOVED".

The ebay email implies that EBAY removed the listing, not the seller.

It's just been listed again and it looks like a different seller from the original so it looks like fraud. I would say the scammers have mulitple accounts that have been hijacked and saw how much the A4000T sold for and are trying to use hijacked accounts to fraudulently list it. I already reported it to eBay but their report form doesn't list fraudulent listings as a reason to report.
