Amiga 4000/040 for sale or trade

[Atari1977]

I've recently saved two Amiga's from the dump. They were both originally used for video editing, so they both have the Video Toaster cards. I don't have a mouse, but I did get both of them to boot up and see that their is a Video Toaster partition on both of them. As I only need one, I wanted to see how much one is worth or if it's something I could trade for another vintage computer like an Atari 800 or Apple II. The one I'm thinking of getting rid of is missing the two case screws on the back and is a little dirty, but not really yellowing. Its clock battery has leaked, but I'm handy with a soldering iron and can take care of that.

Anywhere from $300-$800+, depending on working condition, amount of battery leakage, and accessories included.  Fair warning, value of these 20-year-old computers is a controversial topic on this website; but in any case, welcome, and thanks for saving them from the dump!!!

Any tips where I should dumpster dive to find Amiga 4000s???

I've got an Apple //e that works, has some internal expansions and also the 5.25" floppy drive bay.  I have some original disks as well (oregon trail, steve jobs tribue - lol this isn't original).  I am in the DC area and would be willing to meet halfway some time to arrange a swap of some sort.  I've also got a spare mouse for you if you need one.

Here's what it looks like when it boots up, I found a 1084S monitor with them. It's got some burn in from video toaster. I would only really trade the computer itself as I only have one keyboard and no mouse. I don't really have any software to test it further, it did load Video Toaster though.

In this case they were from a small video editing outfit that used them until a few years ago. Then they sat in a corner for years until they decided to clean out their old analog equipment.

Here's my AtariAge account if anyone is actually interested in purchasing or trading.

I would pay between 400$ and 600$ for a 040 A4000 in fully working condition with keyboard and mouse

Ok, let me know if you're interested in the apple //e I can give you my spare mouse for you a4000 that you're keeping as well as a joystick if you like.  How long of a drive is it for you to get to DC? If we find a halfway point, it would be cheaper and safer than shipping!  Good find also, my friend. I would only need the computer, nothing extra.

Unfortunately, DC is a bit out of the way from Atlanta.

Yikes, that looks like a 10 hour drive!  Well, if you are interested in doing any kind of swap or anything, just send me a message on here.  I can always email pics and stuff  We'd be at the hands of the shipping gods lol.

I poked around and found the system configuration if anyone is interested

10 hours is nothing, I make those kind of drives all the time for derby events, and would drive that in a heartbeat for a fully working A4000.  The problem is, as always, coming up with funds to purchase said A4000, LOL.  

In any case, a local seller/buyer is always preferable to shipping these old machines.  Best of luck finding it a good home!
