There was a 4000T that sold for $550-$600 on this forum not long ago. I made an offer because it was so cheap but didn't get it. I don't think it had a 3640 but it did have a SCSI media card drive and HD floppy which makes up for it. The condition looked good and it was working. I bought an Ariadne 1 ethernet card (one of the fastest) for $80 which blows the Hydra away and I gave a Hydra card away to a friend. I'm sure Hydras have gone for more than $100 and Spectrums have sold for more than $200 but the buyer either doesn't understand the hardware or they in a hurry to buy.
Prices do vary a lot by location. The U.S. is cheap with the coasts being higher. Shipping is an issue with the big box Amigas or foreigners would buy them up. I think the fpgaArcade and the promise of other fpga hardware has reduced the insane prices a little. Collectors still want the old Amigas but many users would rather have the conveniences that newer technology provides.
I paid less for mine with a Cyberstorm MK2 but it was a gamble and I didn't know what was inside it. I didn't have the money when the A4000T you mentioned was on the forum but I got mine a couple of months later because I'm really clever at eBay searches and know where things can fall between the cracks and I had the money at the time.
