It was actually 500SEK or 66USD to be exact. I don't find it to be very cheap but fair. It's old second hand hardware that could die in a few month who knows? And it is "just an S3Virge" card after all.

If one wants to then the Amiga second hand market is ideal to skin ppl (there's a bigger demand than products available and the amount of products available are small enough that some can buy big quantitys thus artificially keeping the price up).

Where is the community I once knew where everyone tried to help each other out best they could and not just trying to milk their fellow Amigans for every penny their worth? Sadly the way the things are going less and less ordinary kids/ppl can afford a decent system and that makes for a shrinking community. :-(

@Red

For the new hardware you're selling I think the prices are about fair (even though some prices are twice that what the store over here ask for the same items) but for the secondhand 15year old hardware I think you're milking it a bit.

Said it already but saing it again... the Amiga is so much more than just a market to profit from (if it is that, I don't know if I agree). The prices for Amiga hardware these days hardly invite new ppl into the comunity and I find that very sad.

That said I'm not against you in what you're doing... the Amiga market is risky and likely don't give a big profit and the ppl doing this take a chanse. I also understand that you can't run a business as a charity.
