I had my eye on that and the Broken A3000 board which went for $142 btw...... I bought my A3000 from the USA cost me US$285 BUT spent US$480 in Shipping...  :getmad: (since i wanted a A3000 to finish off my collection (well that what i tell my wife anyway..... ;-) ) massive clean happening to it now as well as fixing the battery leak... (just can't win).
Anyway eBay prices are just going to keep going up and up. I have tried the ad and pawn shop route but all i got was A500 (bare systems).
I would really like a CDTV to finsih off my collection and maybe a A3000 and A4000. (OH hell just give me them ALL I'll get a new house and put everything there... :-D  (proof that as collectors one can NEVER STOP.....)

Check the thrift stores (second hand stores that sell for charities) in your area. I found an A2000 with kb and monitor for $5 a couple of years ago. They also get tons of the TI-99 and C-64 stuff.

Good luck,
