Gulp!!! $1230+S/H. I'm sorry guys, that maybe "cheap" by today's ridiculous prices, but it ain't really cheap. So I'm with Tokyoracer and Krusher on this. Especially the fact that many setups go to dust collectors... and never get used. I'd love to get a PPC setup to get back to doing some Amiga programming for OS4, but it's damn near impossible the way these things are selling...
Now, perhaps we're blaming collectors even though there may not be so many out there (was there ever a poll?), but frankly from all the posts I've read on a.org, there seem to be a lot with such kit just sitting doing nothing (and some don't respond to mails either...). Come to think of it, there's *huge* set of auctions on eBay from some Canadian guy. This guy either had a store or was well stashed :-) He's got awesome gear, and there's so much, I doubt it was really used often/daily.
BUT, the scary thing with this A4000 auction ( even though, I do admit, it's a very nice setup and I wish arnljot the best of luck with his new toy :-) ), is: how do you trust your $1230/840euros to a guy with 0 rating!?!?!?!? And no paypal or similar payment service!??!!? THAT scares the crap out of me on deals overseas!
My 2 de-valueating dollar cents.
