Super Clean 4000T on eBay

[Coolit]

I've just seen THIS on eBay and had to post, it's a very nice machine for some lucky person, its sooooo.. clean.

MAKES ME WANT TO BIDD  :idea:

adonay :-D

It is a very nice setup. It will surely attract a great deal of attention, especially from those who will sell it on  ;-)

This is indeed a very nice setup and will no doubt fetch top $$$.

Speaking of, I wonder if Softhut still has any of those NOS A4000T's for $1300.00 :-D

Any bets how far it will go?

Going by the price of that other clean/boxed 4000 desktop the other week there on eBay I can see this going for over £500, Ill guess £500-£600, maybe even more if you get two fanatics bidding (lol) . Although I could be completely wrong which I probably will be :-)

More than I can afford, I'm quite sure.

You wouldn't believe how gutted that makes me feel :-(

@ Karlos

I wasn't aware that you wanted an A4KT. Well, I mean, you have a good A1200 tower setup. What would you do with that A4KT?

@ Coollit

Ja, I think £600 wouldn't suprise me at all. The reason I say it is because it is a genuine complete clean package. What you see there is everything I got when I bought mine in 1996, right down to the stands and the packaging and the bezel door label. Unfortunately mine is no longer mint (especially the case) and I no longer have the original packaging or the original 040 card. But everything else is still here: same manuals and disks etc. It really is a nice machine, if you can choose just one AGA Amiga to own.

£180 and its only been posted for 4 hours!

The 1200T (and the 1200D here too) is fine but as a fan of the classic, I've always fancied a true 'big box' amiga. And they don't come much bigger than the 4KT :-D

Also, personally part of the attraction with these machines has always been rooted in how unattainable they were. The way things are just now that looks set to continue.

Don't get me wrong, I am a happy with my current 1200 setup,
but even with the BVision/BPPC, the basic A1200(T) does not have the inherent performance or expansion potential of the 4000T. Just consider accelerator cards, the one expansion you are almost certain to opt for no matter what system you get. There's no comparison between the CSPPC and BPPC, the only advantage of the BPPC is that it can take more memory in total. The CSPPC simply murders it in performance terms.

@ Karlos

Well I hope that one day you get an A4000T. I had the same problem with unattainable stuff like the PIV and the DKB, which I have been fortunate to get hold of. It sucks wanting something but not being able to get it.

Jeff,

To answer your question, yes, SoftHut still has A4000T's for $1299.00, I was in the market for one not too long ago and inquired with them. I know he has them in stock. :-D

Thanks,
Mike
