Err, that's quite a bit of change for that. And this thing doesn't work??

I havent tested the video toaster, you can have the ebay link if you want.
All the rest i can assure you works.

Hi, All I can say is, choose your asking price carefully....

I paid $600.00 for my A4000T w/Toaster 4000/Flyer/TBC4/PAR/CD-R all working...... (Not any more tho...:cry:) Though I spent more eventually for repair. Flyer drives, etc...

Maybe others here can give better advice for an asking price..... I'm an Amiga cheapskate

@marcfrick2112

Thanks. Yeah i think i payed like 450 for the mirage 4000 pro, and about 100 for the video toaster, voodoo5 was no more then 20 bucks, nic was about the same.  

Butem we'll see, i miss the RTG amiga so i think i'll just leave it for now, atleast for a few weeks. Just PM me if anyones interested at some point and we'll see.,

Mind you, the mirage was unused when i got it and the asking price from elbox is 530 dollass

Put the A4000 in the original case and sell it separately. 450 for that tower is quite a lot IMHO. I get the feeling big Amiga towers are loosing their value if they are not a proper C=/Escom tower.

The mobo is dead, it developed a fault and i tried fixing it, then i fixed it to death after being unable to cure the faults.
450 was an ok price, considering that elbox didnt make the things at the time and if they did they wanted more. Besides it was worth it

[cv643d]

Yes BITD they cost a lot. I payed 350 euro for my A4000 tower Elbox in 1998. Biggest waste of money for me ever IMHO.

You can always mount the motherboard in the A4000 case and sell it as is.

Heh, i can tell you right now theres no way im doing that, Im not doomy you know ^^

I changed the 450uf caps and powered up ( after changing all the other caps without any improvement in stability, gfx corruption in aga, or a working floppy. ) , some flickering happened on the screen, quickly followed by a burnt chip smell or 5.

And if i did assemble it all and power up, its likely to take the mediator along with it to the grave...

Might get another mobo, assemble it all and sell it tho, but there goes another few hundred quid so...
