Is it morally ok to hide some Amigas when a company is dying then later sell them.

If he'd stolen them and hidden them in his garage then yeah, however I suspect there is a more complex story behind them.
 
You'd be suprised what is sitting forgotten in warehouses around the world.

A1200s are far from unsaleable - there's a lot of people wanting them still and happy to pay good money.

I doubt there are 1500 people waiting with good money. Which causes a bit of a problem. The people who have them will want to shift them in one go, but if they sell to multiple vendors then competition will make it hard to make a profit on them. If one company buys them then they still have to be competitive with the price or few people will buy them.
 
I don't know anybody in real life that would buy one.

There were also tales of former Commodore plants in the Philippines continuing to produce Amigas well after CBM went under, reports from witnesses say the lights were on and Amigas were still being produced in November 1994, authorised by the Philippines government to try and claw back money owed from CBM under supervision from soldiers!

While interesting, these would be CBM Amigas and not AT Amigas.

What is interesting is the price of used A1200 accelerator cards will go up if 1500 chipram only A1200s are sold.

It depends on whether there will be 1500 new users, or whether 1500 people buy one to refresh their key caps and case.

Jens should seriously think about producing 28mhz 8mb 020 cards, 030 is no faster anyway.

Why do you think that?
