Amiga A4000T worth 1k?

[LoBai]

I just had to ask the question after seeing an Amiga A4000T go for over $1000.00 on fleabay (I think that's what we call it here). Is that a resonable price for it? I'm new but have read that for a collector it would be rare cause of the number that were actually made. Any thoughts from the collectors(Here) would be greatly appriciated cause I am looking to purchase a ton of Amiga in the near furture and this would be something I would want.

Thanks everyone,

LoBai

Let's put it this way: Would I pay that amount? No. If it was a Commodore one (only 200 made) I probably would though.

These can still be bought new from Softhut. (or at least, a year ago)

I do collect Amiga's, and all things around them but part of the fun of collecting is getting bargains. Like 3 A4000CR's and a 4000T for € 350,-.

Wow that is a high price !

I wonder what my Commodore A4000/030 Desktop is worth .... mmmm i paid about 85 Euro for it about 4 months ago .

Sure, I've paid that for some Amigas in my collection... last A4000Towerised one I paid for that amount however had a 233mhz PPC 604e board as well... I run OS4 classic on it... though haven't booted it for awhile... SAM took over...

You pay what you want for whatever... I have around 90 Amiga Systems and never sold anything Amiga... but over the next year or so I am going to start compiling good systems and selling them off... I just haven't got any room any more... LOL

I have two SAMs and I want more... the classic branch will fund the future branch... beautiful ;-)

[LoBai]

Thanks for the feedback. I will keep an eye on the best value as I might go broke paying this kind of cash lol.
I also want to dable in the PPC, can you install a PPC board in a A4000T? I think that would be very cool.

Yes, you can.

Just checked out the prices of SoftHut and they are very much in line with the $1,000.00 ebay auction, so I guess paying this isn't to unreal. Systems with nothing starting at $1299.00 USD.

Thanks,

Absolutely.  $1000 is a bargain for A4000T.  They are not easy finds either.
Anyone dreaming of paying less can get either lucky finding one, or can continue to dream hehe.

[LoBai]

Thanks nishtek,

I have to agree with you after reading a ton on the A4000T. No one had anything bad to say about it on the net. I can't wait to get mine:) Have lots of plans for it!!!

I got mine with "Buy It Now" on ebay for £250 :-)

Depending on the condition of the unit, that was a great deal!

For an Original Commodore A400T... yeah, probably worth it... but for that amiga Tech one... I really don't think so, the A1200 offers better value for money with better and cheaper upgrade options.

[LoBai]

I really like the A1200 and will get one soon and I do agree it has a ton of stuff to put in it. I also like having tons of exspansion slots like the tower has. I guess I will just have to get both:)

My question is more, why the 4000T over the regular 4000 (030 / 040 / 060)?

It's the only Amiga with both SCSI and IDE on the motherboard!

Though I really think it's just the cool door with the tinted window.  That's why I bought mine, anyway.

But seriously, way more room in the 4000T case, probably a whole lot less of them made than 4000s, and no NiMH or NiCad battery to leak on the motherboard (all button cells from the factory, I believe.)
