Since when were Amigas worth this kind of money?

It baffles me how people can pay stupid money for obsolete hardware that could fail at any moment and requires any number of patches and add-ons to use in some cases.
Dont get me wrong, Id love to be on the recieving of that amount of money for what is essentially a bog standard A4000 but theres no way its worth a fraction of that.
Its just shame people have become so used to stupidly high prices that standard A4000s go for almost £200 in some cases (as in recent listings seen on eBay UK), they shouldnt be going for more than £100 but unfortunately people go mental and bid stupid money and inflate the value.
I remember when I used to buy Dreamcast games when I was building up my collection, it amazed me how people would bid on Shenmue 2 like it was the only copy around and it would regularly go for around £30 when there were literally tens of copies on eBay, why bid so high and bump up the price??? :confused::confused:

There are lots of fake people (and real people too) who make fake bids on Ebay all the time and never get in any trouble. That is why I don't use Ebay.

This is exactly one of my reasons I hate private lisitings. I know you cant tell who is bidding, but at least when its not private you can see if its a new eBayers account one with less than 10 feedback. If I see any bids from these two types of accounts I avoid the auction as I suspect theyre inflating the price.
I realise you all gotta start somewhere but Ill let someone else take the risk of being ripped off.
