Kind of overpriced unless it contains Jessica Simpsons honeymoon XXX video
on the HD.

You have *GOT* to be kidding! Is there anything there:
"Commodore Amiga 4000 CPU in a HighFlyer expansion with Newtek-Video Toaster 4000,
(3) hard drives=15 gigs., Piccasso graphic board, (2) TBCIII (time base corrector),
Emplant (Mac Emulator) board, Studio 16 sound board, Commodore 1084s color Monitor,
Panasonic 7750 SVHS with frame advance chip "
that warrents this kind of a price? Yes, it's a nice system, however, it doesn 't
say anything about an accelerator, or a way of allowing extra RAM, and it just says
Piccasso, not Piccasso IV. I can't imagine the video specific HW being worth anywhere
near $7000.
For that price I can get a brand new, decked out G5 that can do the same kind of work,
only better.

Verrrrrrry interesting, but who in h*!! came up with that as a price?
I've been looking at toasters/fliers off and on, and seen similar setups
asking a grand, and getting NO bids.
Caveat emptor. Then again, this is e-pay/e-greed so anything might happen.

Well... The seller also has ZERO feedback, so part of this might be that he's just
some eBay newby looking to get rid of a system that he spent a fortune on about 10 years
ago, and really has no clue as to the current value, or lack there of.
