I'd actually say demand for an old pentium is higher. A very small amount of todays computer users ever used amigas for anything other than a games console, and the total number of computer users in 1994 is a mere fraction of today. One person i've spoke to was very surprised his A500 was actually a computer. He was actually wondering why they put a keyboard on it "when none of the games used it". He was also surprised it came with a mouse.
 
In comparison, a few of my friends use pentium 1/windows 98/crt monitor setups even today. That way they save to money thats better spent on beer and guitars and things, and they can run modern web browsers and word processors to boot.
 
The daft cost of accelerator cards or the amiga market is quite simply, dumb. These systems are far outclassed in ability and ease of use by even the most crap celeron system, the one thing that they are actually useful for is games. Remember, £10 snes.

Are you actually being serious are are you just trying to wind people up ????
 
Whilst the Amiga market is probably over-priced , it is what it is.
 
And there are millions and millions of pentiums, mobos and pentium 1 cards out  there.  There are wworht f all.  I have re-cycled so many its not funny. Only an idiot would pay for a pentrium 1 card/chip/mobo
 
There are probably 1 or 2 thousand working 060 cards out there.  mmmmmmmmm let me think how does supply and demand work again.
 
I wonder why things made out of gold or platinium or so expenisve compared to things made out of iron.
