Be careful of contacting sellers that contact you after an auction.  There are many scammers that try to fool you into thinking they are the seller of the item and get you to send them money for something they do not have, then disappear.
How are you helping the Amiga community? :)

Yeah, I don't like the way it went.

I already have a warp engine 040 40mhz and about 94 meg ram total in my current system with CV64 3D.
Amiga 4000, Warp Engine 040/40MHz, CV643D with scan doubler module, Tocatta soundcard, Deneb, 72Meg fast ram, 18 gig scsi hard drive.

3xA500, 1xA1200, 1xCD32

Surely not? That is one hell of a chunk of change. I have  paid in the recent past £35 for an A3640/25 and £65 for an Apollo 4040/40. Do you think an 040 accelerator can go that high? You are entering 060 Cyberstorm MKI/II territory!

A4000D in decent condition should be worth at least $100.


Try tripling that there bud!

Nice system, I would say $500 to $600 USD.  More or less over the pond.

Respect to your Amiga-Wiseness Alexh, but how much is it worth to put 128Mb ram into your Amiga? People pay over £200 for DKB memory cards & it`s about 20-30% slower than the Fast Ram on the mobo. Also, the Warp Engine 040/40 was much faster than other makes of 040/40. Tbqh, forgetting actual CPU MIPS, I`d rate hard drive access & snapiness of the Amigas Desktop to be huge over the 060 card. The 060 despite being faster in MIPS is severely held back with emulated 040 Libs. 128mb of 60ns ram on a Warp 040/40 is mentally fast.
The Warp manual warns that not using 60ns ram for the 40mhz 040 will mean you have to enable a wait-state for the slower ram  by fitting a jumper. Forcing this on the 60ns ram & making it run at 70ns is noticably & appreciably slower. If you could see mine running, I`m sure you would appreciate it`s value. It`s awesome for an 040 card. Wonder what a true 50Mhz 040 on less volts with 50ns ram woulda gone like!? WOW!

MkII 060`s have gone for as much as £250 for just the card &  just over £340 with hard drive & cables & original box.

I`m toying with selling mine. It`s not being used & is part of a big clearout I`m having soon. Maybe £150 is better inc insured postage, but then in all honesty, anything is only worth what someone is willing to pay anyways. But to put 128Mb ram with a blazingly fast 040 behind it with onboard SCSI II is worth £150 to anyone, surely!? ;-)

Best wishes,

Kin  :-)

PicassoII is another $150 to $200.

All Hard Drives combined aren't worth much, maybe $30


I'd say that as insane price for PicassoII :) Maybe for the PIV or CV64(/3D), but not for PII.

And too much for that big HDs too.. should be easy to find for free. Bigger ones too.

I bought mine unboxed for £150 less than 1 month ago.

I think it's just freak A$$tunnel Amiga collectors who want the box!

Eh? $150 = £75. That's the normal price for a PII

I would say that it was "all the money" at £150. I bought an Apollo 4040 last month for £65. Ok it's not quite as good as a WarpEngine but it is close.
