For sale: SAM440ep with OS4.1.4

Hi,

I am selling my SAM440ep with OS4.1.4.

It's the very quick, little beast from my video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3JUWtNN-P8

It's an unfinished project, it needs a logo on the case (boing ball or whatever) and.....nothing else actually.

Specs:

-SAM440ep (666MHz PPC, 4 SATA ports, 1 PCI slot, 512MB, mini-itx format 17x17cm) rarely used, bought in 2008 for £550

- The award winning and super fast 60GB OCZ Agility 3 SATA 3 SSD that you can see in the video (booting and in use) - brand new, two weeks old £90
AmigaOS4 has hardly used its 60GB space

- The very tiny and cute mini-itx case in black and white, brand new, still with its protective film on, it makes for a very portable OS4 system and it's also got a free PCI slot for a graphics card - £35 (as per video) Dimensions are: Dimension: (L) 303 x (W) 200 x (H) 166mm it also comes with its own 150W PSU which I replaced for the silent picoPSU

- Brand new DVD-RW & Ram (as per video) £15

- AmigaOS 4.1 original CD and box with serial, also included the CD-DVD with the updates (1 to 4)

- ATI Radeon 9200 128MB PCI (tested and working last year, haven't checked it since)

- brand new PicoPSU (I think it's the 120W one) with external power brick £65

- brand new 7200rpm HDD for storage, this can be installed inside the case with a bit of ingenuity and use it for storage.

So the system is almost completely new it performs brilliantly, see video.

Reason for creating a thread?

So you can ask questions and I also would like to know how much someone will be prepared to pay for it, I don't really want to go the ebay route as they take a massive cut!

It'd be brilliant if it could go to a good home where it gets used a lot maybe to create some funky OS4 software.

Thanks!

Sam440s apparently sell for more than I'd have imagined, so hopefully it will go for a decent price.

Your location would help any perspective buyers too

I'm already buying something which will be built into similar specs for ~400 Euro.

I wouldn't pay more than what I already am 2nd hand sam440 myself.
flex or otherwise.

I'll definitely be hunting for a sam460ex to pair off with it too and will need more sam440 machines later.

but having taken a year to find a decent deal on a sam440flex I'm in no rush to expand anything without being more properly sure of the hardware capabilities by dealing with one that I own.

>>Your location would help any perspective buyers too

U.K.

Writing down the description for ebay...I know ebay takes a big cut but nobody has contacted me so it's the only way to do it.

I'm afraid nobody will pay £550 for a three years old used Sam440ep.

>>I'm already buying something which will be built into similar specs for ~400 Euro.

I need to get the money back for the speedy SSD, the case, HDD and picoPSU since they are new.

It remains to price the SAM440ep board up and OS4.1...

Any ideas?

>>I'm afraid nobody will pay £550 for a three years old used Sam440ep

But that's the thing...it's not used at all...

I might have switched it on 30-40 times?

Of course I am not expecting someone to pay £550 for it...

I see, so that's the original price, not the one you're selling it at. (It wasn't all that clear to me.) £300 max would be my best guess.

Actually, it's used since you have it. It's like buying a brand new car. When you drive it for just 10 minutes, you lose almost the 50% of the initial price. Apart from that, in my experience I've seen Sam440Flexs at these prices, and lower.

Expect around 300 as trixie said, and good luck.

The star of the two videos is now on ebay!

Good luck!

The finishing time for the auction (11:07pm on Sunday) seems a bit late. Some people might have gone to sleep by then... Most bidding is done at the last minute, so it is best to have most people on-line when the auction ends.

I also wonder if the starting price shouldn't have been a bit lower, to attract more bidders (who would hopefully get into a bidding war!).

So what would be the asking price for a sam440ep (733mhz) and AOS 4.1 bundle as i am thiniking of selling my sam aswell ?

This is for the motherboard , memory and AOS 4.1.

Apart from anything else, this is a "For Sale" thread, so it doesn't require hijacking by a sale from a different vendor.

If you need to know the estimated purchase cost of your hardware, do so in a different thread.

I will notify the admin staff that this should be moved to the "classified" section.
Any further posts should concern the item for sale, nothing else

@Rigo

Is there a maket place here on the forum as i cant see it?

Cheers Ray

Yes, sections/classified in the main menu at the top of the page.

Simon

Only a few hours left now...if you have any questions post them here please.

I really hope it goes to someone who can push OS4 forward.

I, on the other hand, am going to put the money into my project...hoping to get a 460 or X1000.

Thanks!
