/me cries like a baby - I didn't win this auction ;-(

A4000 local to me.

I was winning bidder at $299 until the last ~hour when 1 lousey person outbid me. Obviously a video guy because I re-bid up to $400 and was still outbid:-( That's more than this box is worth IMO, shame. No way I was going higher than that. I was actually going to keep this box to play with, oh well. Maybe next time :-D

What happened to the last one you got? Or did I miss something?

You missed something:-) I sold the motherboard to an AO member. Purely buisness on that one, it was lacking a power supply so I parted it out. The remaining parts will be put on eBay shortly.

@tintin

Yeah parting a system out is the way to go. You probably would have goen half of that if you sold it all together. Trust me I know this from first hand experience.

Just as I was tooling around looking for my ebay password, this guy Redrum-somethingorother- put a bid down on it

LOL! Don't worry, I'm not going too high on that one:-)

Wow, isn't that expensive for an A4000/030?  Or, am I missing something.  I got my 040 for $200.  I don't think the ancient monitor and video card would make such a difference?

Well yeah sort of, all put in perspective in is a bit steep. I was willing to bid a little more than usual because it was local to me. I would have to pay shipping and I would be able to verify it's condition before paying.

If it wasn't local I wouldn't even want to pay the shipping for that monitor:-)

What kind of Videocard is that Firecracker card anyway ? Amiga-hardware.com lists it as non-RTG and doesn't give any other usefull information.

It's a non-rtg. You can't use it for workbench but you can with software like Image FX.
