The real seller sold this A4000T last year. The same fraudster has been hacking into seller accounts and listing it--the picture and description were obviously pulled from the original listing. Don't bid on it!!!. Click on the report item link on the listing and report it to ebay.
A2500 owned since 1993 with A2630/DKB 2632, DKB Megachip, GVP EGS Spectrum, A2320 and GVP HC+8 on the inside and a DCTV on the outside. A4000D with CSPPC, Cybervision 64 and a Flicker Magic flicker fixer. A4000T Toaster Flyer & CSMKII. All systems completly retro and classic and mostly used to do geometic art as in my avatar.

Here is the original listing from the original seller:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ultimate-Amiga-4000T-Loaded-/190570703013?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&nma=true&si=tToPwofhwqY08wU18sVl1vKc1FI%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc

And here is the the thread about it with the reaction to the sale price and the fraud that followed. It's been popping up every few months since then:

The really evil thing about this is the hacking into eBay seller accounts. The pattern keeps repeating with the A4000T and other items that sold for nice prices being put into another seller's account every few days or so with buy it now via a gmail account. The last one was a seller who sold cosmetics and the only listing that fit into the sellers line was a vintage Barbie doll--A4000s aren't the only things that can bring good money on eBay. This has been going on for a while. A criminal complaint could be filed and signed by Google as well as eBay since Googles service's are being misused by the fraudsters.
