Fair value of my stuff?
« on: May 30, 2011, 08:05:41 PM »
Yep, haven't used my Amiga stuff for some time, other projects have been getting in the way.
So I need to find out what this small collection of stuff is worth (a fair price to the buyer and me also). It would be a local collection in London:
 
A4000T (Amiga Technologies).
 
Flaws and non-standard features:
 
Case isn't mint, there are two scratches and a dent and also yellowing. The bezel is mechanically sound but yellowed.
Hard drive mounting bracket has been cut for easy access to CPU card, ports module has been cut (the SCSI terminator has been separated so that the small D-sub cut-outs on the back of the case can be accessed).
The CIA chips have been socketed, the coin cell and its clips removed and there is instead a battery pack installed which is probably dead since it is about 5+ years old).
No box, but all the manuals, disks and accessories are present. I am the original owner of this miggy, it was bought in 1996 in Croydon UK.
No monitor (it was faulty and I gave it away)
It has an ATX PSU, and a spare AT PSU
 
PIV with Concierto and Paloma
Cyberstorm PPC 233 with 128mb RAM
DKB3128 with 128mb RAM (there are three of these)
Three hard disks (one ultrawide SCSI and two 50 pin SCSI)
SCSI CD rom
 
Spares:
 
Disk Module
A/V module
CPU card: 030 card for troubleshooting
Keyboard (NOS A2000 keyboard)
CIA chips
 
Other stuff:
 
A500 and black mamba RF modulator
Cyberstorm MKII with CyberSCSI (doesn't tolerate overclocking)
60mHz crystal for above Cyberstorm
Technosound Turbo 2 sampler
Vidi 24 RT Pro digitiser with old skool video camera
Subway card (unused since my Kickflash died)
SCSI ZIP drive
Various cables and connectors (SCSI, printer, Cocolino, SCART etc)
Canon BJ230E printer (you can take it or scrap it, I used it way back to do A3 black and white printing on the Amiga as a student)
Various mice and joysticks
 
Original boxed software:
 
Cinema 4D
Image FX
Make CD
Scala MM400 (this version has no dongle and IIRC it was an upgrade from 300)
Some games (nothing special or rare)
 
Oh and I'll throw in whatever hardcopy and digital X-ray imaging I have of miggy-related stuff.
 
A lot of the hardware has been photographed over the years and there are pictures in the gallery.

jeez - that much kit is worth whatever you ask for it

I'd say a couple large if ebay is any indication.  that PPC card is damn near a grand on its own.

Nice stuff!

You are the guy who is a X-ray technician and make radiographs out of his hardware?
Then you should give it all to me as i work as a senior staff radiologist here :D

I'd be willing to take the Picasso IV off your hands.  If you are interested in parting it, give me a PM and we can discuss.

You should still need a dongle with SCALA, even with the upgrade. :huh:

Scala: this version has no dongle, there was a separate release note with it that advertised this fact, I promise :)

The overwhelming demand is that I split this lot up.
I'll need to get a camera, get some pics and post them.

I wouldn't do that. Although some people may squeal, you are very likely to get stuck with many parts of the package. Stick to your guns....

I agree mainly with motrucker. If you want to sell certain parts, do it for the things that are already separate. Or match items that complement each other and sell them as sets.
 
But don't tear apart the system. If it is in good working order, it is only because it took quite a bit of upgrading, patching, installing, repatching, reloading, cleaning and care. That alone is worth quite a bit in Amigaland. ;)
 
Remember, it is your stuff and you can sell it as you like. I can tell from your initial post that you aren’t out to swindle people and that speaks for it's self.
 
And if you don't get any takers here for certain items, you can always post it on Amibay. Where, by the way, you are NOT allowed to ask people to split up items for sale.
 
It's also free to post. ;)

I did not read the original post as being sold as a job lot, had I known that the seller wanted to sell as one whole lot, I would not have asked.

If I hadn't bought a house recently I'd have made a very good offer for all that... But as it is I have no money and I don't think it's a very good idea to go diving into my overdraft since that's my emergency backup, lol

Unless you decided to let it go to me for free because you think it would look good photographed next to an A3000T (or that I seem like a nice guy, or I'll take any reason, lol)

Good luck with the sale :)
Back to action!

Okay let's see if Motrucker is right. I'm going to post pictures and a more detailed inventory. I want £1800 for the lot, Fitzsteve will have first refusal. Collection only from NW5 in London.
If the lot doesn't go I will split it.
These pics aren't the greatest, I can take others if you want.

Pics of the A500 (it is yellowed):













It has some sort of Supra 512k RAM card with a dead coin cell:



This A500 definitely works, I have inspected it inside and out and set it up with RF modulator, joystick and mouse and tested it with Rodland. Here is the setup:

A4000T: many pictures of that in the gallery, taken with a lot more care than the ones below, but I wanted to make sure you could see the case blemishes and current state of the bezel (which is yellowed but otherwise undamaged).

Overall view of the main case (lid removed):



Then some pictures of scratches:





Overview of the case lid. This has a dent and some scratches also. It is quite difficult to photograph the dent, needs an angle just so:







The bezel is good:





No missing drive bay covers, all pieces intact.

Case stands:



The A4000T has a new ATX PSU with an ATX to AT converter and a 110/240V switch. The switches on the bezel will behave as normal.

There are three spare PSUs, all tested working. One ATX and two ATs.
This is the original AT PSU:



This is a NOS AT PSU:



Spare ATX PSU:



All three spares have a female connector for a monitor, but only the original AT PSU has a 110/240V switch.
