Title: Mad prices for PPC...
Post by: Noster on July 31, 2005, 01:34:41 PM: Hi,

I've seen this auction of a CyberstormPPC at eBay:

Maybe I should also sell my CyberstormPPC and buy an A1 for the profit?

If someone would want to spend over 800 EURO for it, they are certainly retro geeks, and that is fine by me, but I would never myself pay that much for a CyberStormPPC board. I paid less than half the price for my CyberStormPPC :-)

Some hardware manufacturer should (re)produce these items as I'm sure there's enough demand still out there to warrent it. Nevermind NEW Amiga technology which always sells badly...people still seem to want classic hardware and there's obviousely a market for it judging by the frenzied eBay bidding!

Post by: Darklight on July 31, 2005, 04:34:12 PM: The problem with reproducing classic hardware is that once it starts being produced, there won't be the same supply / demand balance anymore, so people won't be willing to spend the same amount of money. Nevertheless, I wish somebody would start reproducing some hardware, it's hard to get here in Oz, so I have 6 miggys, and not ONE of them has an accelerator :-(
