I just wonder how these will drop in price in the unlikely even that some more reasonably priced new hardware is released.

An XE with a G4 would probably go for a bit more because of the Altivec.  with way it will be pretty expensive because there are so few and it's the only way to run OS4 at the moment.

I'd say that it could well go for over £400 and will probably be around the original cost.  The more powerful 750GX based models sold originally for about £500 not sure about 750FX.

That really depends on wether or not the more reasonably priced hardware is higher spec or not.

If higher spec hardware becomes available then the second hand market for Articia hardware will probably increase as more users upgrade.  
It probably still won't be particularly cheap though, because you're not going to get 1Ghz plus G4 motherboards for under $300 (or $500 for that matter) anytime soon.

A norwegian fellow from a certain Amiga forum seems to be the high bidder and went to step into the OS4 world  :-D
