How much is an A4000 worth these days?

[captainmoomoo]

Hi all,

I've come to the point where I need to get rid of my A4000 and am posting here to get an idea of a reasonable sale price. Here's what it has:

CPU: 68040
Memory: 2MB Chip, 12MB Fast
DVD-ROM drive
40GB internal hard disk drive
2 internal floppy drives
CyberGraphX 4 graphics card
AmigaOS 3.9 installed - original installation media also provided
Original keyboard and mouse included

Also, the case is in top condition with *no* yellowing.

How much do you think I should list this for?

Is there any battery damage? Has it been taken out in time? Have the caps on the motherboard and 040 card been replaced? This will influence the price you can ask in a big way. Also, what is the CyberGraphX card? A Picasso 2, 4 or another one?

[captainmoomoo]

The battery hasn't been taken out but there is no leakage. I'm not aware of any damage to the caps either.

I believe the graphics card to be a Picasso 2.

Considering it comes with a graphics card, 2 floppies, mouse, keyboard and it is in the condition you say it is in, I'd expect at least $600 for it.

I know I paid around $400 for mine off ebay and it had no HD or CD ROM, only 1 floppy drive and no graphics card, no mouse and no keyboard.  Oh, and the battery had leaked.

Well I sold off mine for just 150 Euro. It didnt have a graphics card, but it did have a 040/40mhz, 16Mb and a Vlab card.

It depends where you are located, value is very much regional and will be worth more if you sell the graphics card seperate.

As others have said, it depends. It depends on several factors:

- what does the machine have
- Is there visible damage from a battery that does not work? Be more concerned with damage than if it works or not.
- Check ebay - it is worth what people are willing to pay and people pay more in the winter months, especially in the fall than they do in the summer.
- what extras does it have
- PPC and 68060 cards make a huge difference as does the OS and memory

If you really want one, perhaps start with a basic A4000 unit and add parts over time. Its more fun that way and keeps your initial costs down.

I have one on ebay right now and I have no idea what it could go for. From history, it could go for anywhere from 600 to 1800. I would expect closer to 600, but you never know.

A lot depends on who's in a buying mood when the auction takes place.  You don't say what country you are in.  It makes a big difference where you are selling it.

Thanks for the reply guys.

I put an ad in on Craig's List and Kijiji, for sale in Montreal for $600, so it looks like I was pretty much spot on!

I'll see the kinds of responses I get - if nothing, then I'll put it up on eBay.
