The A500 was hugely popular here, almost as pop as the C64.

The A1200 didnt do so well, I remember seeing them in Myer next to PCs.  And while they were cheaper, the PC came as a complete package, with monitor, productivity software ect whereas the A1200 looked a bit like an expensive games machine.  The CD32 was in Dick-Smiths for a few weeks, but faded into obscurity overnight and was never heard from again...

Amigas havent held their value here in Aus and the scene is all but completely gone.  Its no wonder, as upgrades have always been omparatively expensive and hard to get and the number of stores in the entire country can be counted on one hand.
