Amiga A4000T worth 1k?

Absolutely.  $1000 is a bargain for A4000T.  They are not easy finds either.
Anyone dreaming of paying less can get either lucky finding one, or can continue to dream hehe.

My Amiga 4000T with 68060  is worth $1350.  That includes all costs in it.  At $1000 and fully working its a bargain.  I'd agree with you though, that its worth at least $3000.  Market value wise, realistically  about $1000-1500 with 040 cpu.
Its major pluses:
- the battery
- the SCSI & IDE controllers (you can use both).  SCSI is faster.
- nice unique case
- well designed board

Its the only Amiga that is the way Amiga should have been built.  Only thing missing is the flicker fixer (which was included in A3000).  A1200 don't compare to it as they don't have any zorro slots.  
Actually A1200/600/500 are in class of their own, i think its cool today to have a keyboard with computer in it.

The Amiga 4000T is likely the best Amiga 680x0 made.   Some argue the A3000, because of the build in flicker fixer.  However the A3000 is too tight to expand inside, while A4000T has plenty of room.
Either way you'll be happy.  The accelerator is a bit tough to find these days.  But perhaps the new GVP ones from softhut might do?  The 68060 is plenty speed (unless you can find PPC but thats risky sometimes-thinking Phase 5)

The GVP one should fit (it resembles the old CBM68040 board), but  check with Joe of Softhut first for some photos.
I do strongly recommend putting a low-profile heatsink on the ALICE chip, which is known to get hot on all A1200/4000 series.
And you likely will need an external flicker fixer (the white, external indivison ones by individual computers, lots of people offloading them), graphics card such as cybervision, network card such as xsurf.
If you need the heatsink or kickroms drop us an email: support@nishtek.com
We also have a few spare 68060 CPUs for backup.  you might drop us an email anyway, as we're compiling list of A4000T users, those that may want to upgrade the machine (internal flicker fixer if enough interest exist) and the occasional parts for it.
have fun.
