Wanted - Amiga 4000 Boxed

[Retromania]

Hi everyone

I hope its ok to post this thread here - I am on the hunt again for a nice, white, unmarked Amiga 4000 in its original box, with keyboard in box and all original manuals.  Ideally an original spec machine that has not been tinkered with.

Does anyone want to sell one ?

I recently sold mine on ebay and am really gutted that I did so now.  So, instead of moaning about it I am going to buy another one ! :-)  Well, with your help I HOPE I am going to buy another one !

I am a stickler for a nice clean unmarked machine though so this will have to be mint for it to be what I want.  I don't mind if it is an 030 or an 040 but I would rather avoid the cheaper, cut down version (was this Rev D motherboard ?).

I don't know if there is such a beast out there but if so please, please, please tell me about it.  I am in the UK so it will need to be a UK spec machine and keyboard.

Thanks in dire anticipation

Oooh don't - the thought is too painful ! :-(

Thanks re the good luck though !

Excellent point well made !!!

ANY REV board is fine with me !

I have a horrible feeling I am not going to find a nice boxed example though ! :-(  Why did I ever think of selling mine ?  Ooops - I said I wasn't going to moan ! Sorry !!!

[Retromania]

I know, I know - but if anyone does have one or sees one on ebay then at least I am asking the right people !

Tall order indeed but surely, somewhere there must be one ?  Come everyone, check those cupboards again !

Still hoping ...

PS - Do you think an Amiga 1200 PPC 603, Bvsion 3d, Tower system would be a good buy at £250 ?  Power Computing Tower I think.

Hi there

Thank you for the info - yes, I would be interested.  I am happy with any spec and am open-minded.  Please let me know what you find !

Also, can you advise if the machine is boxed (slim chance I know) or not and if there is any yellowing on the front panel ?

Thanks again - I hope to hear from you soon !!! :-)

Best Regards

Retromania

PS - I am in the UK too !

RE
"If I were you I would dig out the old Paypal receipt and send a friendly email to the guy you sold your A4000 to.

I would casually ask him if you could buy it back!

Obviously if you buyer was a diehard addict like us then you probably wont be in luck.

However if it was an impulse buy for a nostalgic ex Amigan he may have taken it out of the box once or twice and may now be secretly wishing he hadn't won it."

Hi - thanks for the suggestion.  No such luck - already tried ! :-(  Why did I sell it ?  I must want my head examining !!!  Oh foolish things that we do !

Thanks for the Good Luck wishes though !

All the best

Will the A4000s be going on Ebay? I'd love to get hold of one  

I hope not - I started this thread on a genuine mission to find a nice A4000 - please don't just bung it on ebay - EMAIL ME !!! :-)

Thanks

I would just try and get what you can at this point in time!

Thanks for the advice.  This is basically what I am doing now.

What a way to learn a lesson huh - sell a pristine machine and regret it the day after !  Doh !!! :-(

All the best

@ Boot_WB

Hey Boot_WB - thanks for the post advising me of the listing - I appreciate it!!!  I have had my eye on it since it was listed and am really pleased I got it - cheers for the congrats too!  Happy Days :-)

So you went for an A3000?  I hope you got a nice machine.  What's the spec?

@ TjLaZer

Thanks for the comments :-)  

Is it ever so slightly yellowed on the right hand side but nothing too bad.  

Thanks for the advice re the HD - I have more shopping to do when my bank account can stand it ! :-)

Nice website by the way !!!
