Just found it interesting, maybe it has something to do with new machines for OS4 and Macs for MOS now available ?
Just last year some would sell over 1000Euro!

I sold both of my CSPPC 233MHz 604e last year. The first one sold for $1,400 US dollars in less than 8 hours on eBay. Not sure what that adds up to in euros right now. The second one was part of a trade for other Amiga gear plus cash.
I would not be surprised to see prices come down a little, as more people consider getting faster G4, PA6T, or SAM hardware to run one of the PPC Amiga inspired operating systems.
But there will always be many people that prefer the original Commodore Amiga computers that will want this Phase5 gear that continues to become more rare over the years. Some people will sell cheaper than others, and some will try to price is like pure gold. Just depends on your luck when buying or selling this kind of gear.

Maybe, but it's my impression many are reverting their classic machines to lower specs and using the money to upgrade, which is a good think IMO.
I'd still love to get a CPPC TBH :) But it probably wouldn't be used that much so I would end up considering selling it again.

With gold at $1700us an ounce that would make one of these cards comparatively around $20,000us. Thank goodness they don't really sell priced like gold. But I agree 100% on your point regarding classics. IMO too.
