Oh the temptation is killing me!! A4000 Toaster local!!
« on: February 04, 2003, 09:54:38 PM »
After I swore off classic hardware forever, giving away almost everything, I see a nice clean A4000 with Toaster for sale locally pretty cheap. What to do, what to do? WinUAE is VERY functional and much faster than any Amiga I have ever own.. But a classic box..... :-x  :-x Damn I wish I never saw it... I can't afford...

Ever had a dilema?

;-) Go ahead and jump off of the wagon, and rejoin the Classic Amiga users throng!  You can always sell it again on e-bay...

I'd buy it and then live on Heinz white beans for the rest of the month :-)

a cheap working toaster is a good working toaster.

I still amaze people when I show them the toaster running on my 4000.  (They don't understand how a machine running at 50mhz with 64 megs of ram can do what it does) :)

@Red

Go ahead, gofor it.  Life's too short to not take advantage of the opportunities we are given.  A Classic Box is like a lot of other fine things(cigars, good wine etc.) that we could all do without, but we wouldn't have much fun either, would we?  I'm surfin' right now on my A2000, and having FUN, not just using some damn appliance like my electric shaver!  Enjoy!!!

Buy it!

I don't know how much is the asking price, but I've seen just Toasters go for $400 on eBay, alone.

Out of curiosity, for how much can you pickup a A4000 in the US?

WAY OT:

Is anyone intending to sell an A4000 or A3000 in Australia? :-)

3 steps to Miggy Heaven.

1.Take a good look at your bank account.

2.Deduct amount needed for perchase (inc.overdraft options) using maths.

3.Perchase! Beg-Steal-Borrow and purchase DAMIT! :-P

Here is a 4000/Toaster system FS on eBay. 16 Hrs left and $338 (no reserve) is the highest bid. If I had the cash, I think I'd snag it. :)
