FA Amiga 4000T + '060 50 Mhz + CDRW

[charmfx]

Auctioning a Quikpak Amiga 4000T with '060, 128+16MB ram, CDRW, Hi Density floppy drive.

System is in good condition and well maintained...(please read the listing).

There is a reasonable reserve on this listing and I've included a 'Buy it Now' price for those who don't want to risk not being highest bidder.  

Due to weight and size, system is only available to the U.S. and Canada...sorry.

btw, wanted to mention that the 'reserve price' on this auction, while reasonable, is not near (i.e. within at least $300 of) the 'Buy it Now' price.  

It's only there to keep the 'Buy it Now' option available and to prevent non-serious bidders from bidding to remove the 'Buy it Now' option before many have had a chance to see the listing.

thanks for bidding.

I expected interest but this is ridiculous!!!

I threw a bid out there to get the ball rolling for you.

What is so ridiculous?

[charmfx]

counter is at 270 in 8 hours which is the most views I've had in such short time.

...also number of watchers...

I know these aren't as plentiful as other Amiga classic systems so I suppose that accounts for it.

thanks for the interest.

How many watchers at such an early point in the auction?

[charmfx]

the counter is at 475

there's 39 watchers at just over the first day this morning.

most of the auctions I've held have, at most, 10-15 watchers and end up with 1-5 bidders.

(I'm sure some are just curious to see how much it will go for and I've had some email me saying they thought it was worth more then the 'buy it now' but based on what I've seen these things go for between $700-$1400 depending on condition and extras.)

[dannyp1]

That's an excellent amount for one day.  I have had EBay auctions with more but it was later in the listing week.

up to 42 watchers now...and 10 bids from 5 bidders with the counter at 641...in about 1 day and 10 hours...definitely high score for me.

no bids since this morning or so I think though..

guess everyone is figuring they're approaching the reserve soon and holding back so the 'Buy it Now' option stays if they want to use it.

very interesting...!!!

[charmfx]

status this morning, Sunday, is counter is 791!

11 bids from 6 bidders and 47 watchers!

haven't broken the reserve yet so I'm hoping I didn't set it too high and am putting bidders off.  I genuinely wanted to keep the 'Buy it Now' option open but the reserve is not far away now so if someone breaches it I guess that opens the door for last minute frantic bidding.

thanks for bidding.

I'm guessing that instead of using your totally reasonable buy it now price, Your reserve will be met, the Buy it now will go away, and some idiot will bid it up to $1800 in the last minute.

hmmm

Wow, from your lips to God's ears! ..but yeah, in search of a bargain that appears to be what might happen now since the reserve was met at a bit after 4:00 pm today PDT.

..now 13 or so hours to go and it's sitting at just shy of $660 which is still a bargain.

As a seller I get a little nervous but I'm sure the bidding will go further.

@charmfx

One thing that I've found influences a lot is the quality of the pictures you present. Most times if the items are in very good condition and you present hires well focused quality pictures, it's a best seller. So you should've gone the trouble of getting better pics, it would pay off.

And to think I got an A4000T from german eBay with a PIV for 500€ 2 years ago At the time I though I was going nuts, I can now sell it for triple the price (already have an A4000D), but somehow I can't  :-o
