I'm selling up (A4K)
« on: January 26, 2004, 10:47:42 AM »
OK, I'm afraid I've lost the faith and so I am flogging the lot.  I intend putting it on e-bay but havent a clue as to how much Miggy stuff goes for these days.  I saw an A4K box for £150 and a Monitor for £100.

So, I have

A4000/30 (with FPU) (inc mouse/keyboard)
2 Chip / 12 Fast
CD-Rom
Cybervision 643D
Microvitec (1438?) monitor
Devpac 2
Sas C 6.5 with ring-bound manuals
FinalWriter Boxed and manuals (a number of versions/upgrades)
Wordworth
A couple of games (Theme Park, Simon the Sorcerer).
Genlock
Frame Grabber
and a few other bits and bats.

What do you rekon is a realistic price?

I'm keeping my A1200 for nostalgia though  :-D

Pop it on Ebay and you should get a good price... certainly around or above the £300 mark.

£300?  Right, I'll dig out everything and build a full "kit list".  I'll stick it in for a start bid of about £150-200.  Anyone any idea of the shipping costs for something like that?

£300 eh?  Thats enough for my Film Scanner!

Dont suppose anyone has a Minolta Scan Dual III they want to swap for my Miggy?!?!?

You'll probably get more if you split it up into components and sell seperately. Just pray for some "eBay insanity"...

If your willing to help pay for some of the shipping to attract some USA buyers you can get a lot more for it on ebay.com. I have ben watching them go for over $400 the last few months!

Thanks for the suggestion.  Have you any idea what the shipping might be?  Only decided to do it this morning so I dont even know what shipping would be WITHIN the UK yet!!

I wouldn't sell it in the US. Although it's a larger marker you'll have the shipping costs. If that's not bad enough the dollar is so weak and the pound so strong you might as well half the price - i.e. 400 dollars is around 200 odd quid. Peanuts. The thing to do is buy off the Americans at the moment!

I must admit, when Acill said 400 bucks, I thought that was less than £300.  I'm going to dig out all my stuff tonight and hopefully get it on EBay tomorrow.

I think I have 2 Abacus (the light blue ones) and a couple of the RKRM's too.
