Huge apologies if this is the real thing but this system just smells a bit fishy.

Among other things I noticed this:

"1 CD mit AMIGA/OS4.0 orginal"

And the seller has no record .....

Any thoughts?

Probably a mistake; he meant OS3.9.

Nice paint job..

Probably a betatester sellig it`s gear (he just sold an A1 for about 1000 EUR). I`m pretty sure he violates the NDA he signed by doing this. This might be one reason why he has a "new" Ebay accout, to keep his identity secret.

Yes I saw that. Sadly I also expected it a bit. Well. You can't win em all.
