I was digging through my cupboard packing away some stuff for moving house and came across what appears to be a rare Amiga 4000 keyboard.

Is there anyone here interested? It could do with retro brighting also the help key is broken (can be repaired, will need replacement spring and stem installed..i can direct you to a 3d print file for the stem ..slight chance i can even have one printed for you.)

What price are you looking for?

Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.

I'd love to say yes (Amiga nut) but I honestly would have no use for it :D

If eracode doesn't take it, throw it on TM and Im sure it'll go for a pretty penny :D

@Apsattv, as per this sub-forum's rules, please add a price.

People often mistake me for an adult because of my age.

Keep calm, and carry on posting.

Hard to judge a price from my quick research ;late lastnight amiga 2000/3000 and 4000 ? keyboards on ebay seems to be selling from $200 NZ to -$500 NZ once postage is added. I couldn't find any reference to previous sales on Trademe.

I'm aware that the 4000 has a different plug than the 2000/3000 and is harder to come by.

i'll post the details off the back sticker later with exact model number later and hopefully some photos

Hello Stu,

Price is still pending as it's a hard item to value being somewhat "rare" "vintage" hardware.

There are surely Amiga enthusiasts in this forum that may have a better idea of what its currently worth.

Please note I'm not taking a dig at anyone here, just my opinion on pricing in NZ.

Amiga gear in NZ has gone stupid with pricing over the last couple of years, anything with an Amiga logo on it seems to immediately attract a large asking price - if they sell is another thing. Sellers seem to base off EU/UK/US selling prices.... its a bigger market over there, so if want top $$, go sell on Ebay.

If you cant use it, then its worth nothing to you, and anything you get you'll be happy with :) Personally I probably wouldn't pay more than $40 for it, but that's because I have no real use for it and would just get it as a collectors piece and NOT resell it. Others will pay $100+ and then on-sell it for a profit - they don't actually have any interest in it at all, just see the $$$ signs.

The Amiga system I just got, would probably sell for $500+ on TradeMe - I paid $0 as an old friend knows I love them and do not have any interest in selling it.

Just my 2c :)

I hope it goes to a good home :D And whoever takes it, what Amiga stuff do you have ? :D

Thanks, for you comment XPD. Yeah its worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it. I can't be bothered putting it on EBAY or shipping it overseas.

So its here or FBM or TM.

actually, I found some other Amiga stuff in the same box.

3 boxes of unopened still plastic sealed Amiga Floppys

a box of Amiga Shopper cover disk floppys

A big set of Aminet CD's

An A520 Modulator

An iomega Parallel port edition drive (Works with any Amiga)

A VBS VHS tape back up device for backing up the amiga to a VHS tape

Ooo.... :D

I'd be interested in the Aminet CDs and possibly the A520.

Those VBS units were an interesting beast, someone at Amiga Auckland was making them at home for like $20, I got one and used it, was slow but did the job :)

I just checked its aminet cd set 1 to 4, pretty good condition as I only loaded them up a few times. As I sold my amiga not long after.

They were part of a bulk order by the local amiga bbs users.
