Amiga a dying interest or ebay full of cheapskates?

1000s seem pretty common in the US. Ebay is highly random though. Sometimes a plain 500 will go for over a hundred.

I am bidding now on A500+ with 2MB chip RAM for a buck. Seems all the classic Amiga enthusiasts and collectors have moved on and there is not much interest anymore. This is very bad, because both MorphOS and AmigaOS 4 are aiming mostly at these users, since they are much more than all the other people using the so called NG Amiga platforms.

There is Amiga Forever and AROS, in these horrid economic times, which you think the retro gamer is going to purchase?

AROS is no good for retro gaming, Amiga Forever costs money.
So, WinUAE seems the best choise in these horrid economic times.

Wasn't there some work in AROS to reimplement the Amiga kickstart ROM in open sourced code?
Something like the Atari people did with EmuTOS, which runs some of the games in the Atari ST emulators.
