Radeon 9000 256 MB PCI graphic card cheaper than Blizzard

Hello there, how come a Radeon 9000 256 MB PCI graphic card for an AmigaOne X1000 is so much cheaper than Blizzard for classic Amigas. For example a Radeon 9000 256 MB PCI graphic card for new Amigas cost about £40 whereas Blizzard for classic Amiga's goes for £100's on eBay and Amibay. Thanks.

More Radeon 9000's made than the Blizzard? Is that what you mean.

Oh right, I see. I read that the Radeon 9000 Cards were made for the AmigaOne X1000 Market but were compatible with PC's. Is that true or were they mainly aimed at the PC Market. Thanks.

So back to the original question, I can clearly see why Radeon PCI Graphic Cards are much cheaper than Blizzard's.

If I had done a bit more research into the Radeon Graphics Cards then I would have known that they were made for Macs and PC's. What I thought was there are specialist graphic cards made for the AmigaOne X1000 and other Amiga Computers in the same generation. So what I've learnt is that I guess there aren't any specialist Amiga Graphic Cards made for X1000 otherwise they would cost alot more than the £40 Radeon 9000 one as there would be a smaller production line.
