The value of "real" Amiga hardware

[royalcrown]

Here is my opinion on how many:

If you have a couple you play with, fine. If you have some you use and have one of each boxed for collection purposes fine. Someone is hoarding who has has "stacks" of them, especially stacks of them in original boxes. How many you actually gonna use ?

I not trying to dampen the Christmas spirit, but, you seem to write a lot of posts villainizing and labeling folks who have more Amigas than you do.  How many Amigas makes an Amigan evil?  

Most of the Amigas in my possession were rescued from certain oblivion over the last 25 years.  I'm not sorry for it.  I intend to preserve them deep into the future.

On a positive note, I value your expertize that you have shared generously with me and other Amiga users.  You seem like a well rounded and balanced person otherwise.  

Sour grapes don't become you.

Hey Tenacious,

I have no ill will or malice towards this guy at all, but I've said it before, HE is the SINGLE reason there are no Amigas to collect. Quite simply, he owns them all...:biglaugh:

I'm not saying it's evil, but I am pretty sure this is what 'Mike means by "hoarding". If you disagree please post

Maybe he got trapped under a pile of computers and never made it out...I hope not...but you never know.

OR...the weight of his gear caused his house to sink to the center of the earth.

I got as far as "15 A1200's" before I started to weep silently, LOL.
 
Edit: Notice that website has been several years since it's even been updated?  What's that guy doing with all of them now?  Is he even still active in the community?  Or are they collecting dust?

Yah Mike,
I saw that BS last week too and wondered WTH ?

I am baffled by auctions such as these:

If you look at the photos you can tell clearly that it's the same system. But it's different seller accounts, different prices, and different item locations. I've seen the exact same A2000 system pop up a couple dozen times on ebay, always for some ridiculous price. Honestly don't understand what this is, is it some kind of scam?
