As someone who was heavily involved in the Commodore scene for many years, my advice to you is to reconsider parting ways with them at all. At the very least, consider selling only to someone who is an Amiga fan and not someone who is looking to make a quick buck, which appears to be the case here.

The A4000/040, in spite of the fact that the RTC battery has probably expired, is worth more than you might expect. This is especially true if you've kept the unit properly packaged and the housing has not succumbed to the yellowing which is typical on most older Commodore units. They are very hard to come by these days; the few I have seen in recent years were no longer functional due to the RTC battery having corroded the main board but this can normally be remedied by someone with rudimentary knowledge of electronics. You can be sure that if you held onto this unit, it's value would appreciate as the years go by. They really are difficult to find these days and in my humble opinion, $1000USD is the very least you would want to let it go for.

The 2500 is a model you don't see very often. Even though it is basically an A2000 fitted with a 68020, they make for a decent system. This one isn't worth nearly as much as A4000 is because it is essentially an A2000 which are relatively easy to come by.

Maybe let the A2500 go for as much as you can and hold onto the A4k?
