Insane I tell you!!!

I completely agree, it's nuts.

An example of something else that killed the Amiga originally was over-inflated pricing on the part of Commodore.

I guess people never learn. You can't even buy used Amiga hardware at a fair price after all this time.

The good news (I think) is that the fact that someone can charge that much for something used like this is an indication of the dedication of Amiga users. Unfortunately, it also takes advantage of Amiga users at the same time. :-(

Sorry guys, I tried to turn this into something good, but, I failed miserably.

Ooops, my mistake. Sorry about that.

I had looked at the auction quickly, I thought the $650 was the starting bid.

Though, in my defense, the Amiga, and associated products have always been overpriced! ;-) (hey, I am an Amiga user, I need to salvage something from my original post to make me look right) :-)

I agree, I buy from ebay only when I am sure that I cannot get something somewhere else. As a collector of "classic" Amiga hardware, ebay is an unfortunate necessity.

I have found that prices for most things that are still available from other sources (OS3.9 CD, X-Surf II cards, etc) are basically the same as retail, in fact, after someone charges an outrageous amount for shipping on an item, it ends up being quite a bit more.
