Mint A4000/040 w/1942 monitor on eBay

I've recommended he pull the listing and rethink how he wants to sell this.

With over 9 days left in the auction and the bidding already over $300, I don't see why he'd pull it now. I'll be up there soon enough.

I talked with the seller by phone this afternoon...over 55 watchers already.  And, no, he really didn't know what he had.    He attends estate auctions and buys lots.  The Amiga was part of a lot and was under the things he was really after.

Anyway, the auction is a go, and it's been updated to show the  Toaster equipment.

Good luck on the bidding.  I made the seller a prediction, but I'm probably low.

$100 is way too much for a bare-bone stock A2000, you are lucky it had those parts inside.


I have seen piles of A2000s for sale at AmiWest for $40 each and most had a SCSI controller w/HD inside.

I think it depends on where you are located. If you're near a city that had a store or stores that sold Amiga stuff, then there's a large supply of used stuff around. So they don't cost a lot. Supply and demand.

Unfortunately, I'm not near anything and any good deals I find online are usually killed by shipping (almost 1/2 the cost of mine was shipping).

That thing is worth no more than $300..maybe $50 more because of the condition...but no manuals/disks....let some fool part with their money

You can't find any A4000's for $300 or less these days..

You can, but I agree they're becoming less common at that price.

As the seller of this Amiga 4000 I just want to say that I have never sold a thing to koaftder as he states above. In 10 years of selling on eBay, I never sold in the computer section till several weeks ago when I sold some big 8" floppy disc's that were in a desk I bought. See my feedback for the listing.
   Man up, koaftder, .. and admit your error or be known as a BS poster.
   As far as the 4000 is concerned, it did come from the estate of a lady who passed back in February. Her husband passed back in the 90's and it may have been his toy, I don't know. Everything I sell comes from esate auctions. I purchased it as a box lot with other items and didn't know what it was till I looked it up on eBay. The questions came in and I ID'd the internal cards after the auction started. As I said in the auction, I'm not a computer person (look at what I sell) and my knowledge really is limited. Thanks ... Frank

I read wrong. I thought amigadave was the seller. Dummy on me for not reading the original post correctly and saying something intelligent but you got some nerve telling me to "man up" and "be known as a bs poster".
