Long time lurker :-) I know exactly where you're coming from Wayne :-) Downside is I dont know what I can do from NZ, plus with real life getting in the way I dont have the time to be an admin for a webiste.. wish I could enjoy doing it :-)
I wish you luck with the auction, and $10k seems fair enough to me for the time and effort you've put in.
I just hope the new owners will be like minded and dont rip it a part as nothing else is like amiga.org :-)
