Even in its heyday the Amiga platform wasnt a major player in the computing world (compared to, the C64 for example).  Most computer history books barely reference the Amiga platform and those that do spare maybe a page of generic information.  15+ years after the parent Co's demise, people who used the platform for more than games (a subset of the Amiga userbase) might retain some interest, but the rest of the world doesnt even know it existed.

Anyone willing to pay more than a few quid for an obscure brand needs to wonder "why?"

Top 25 computers as voted by computer enthusiasts.  
Including such memorable products as:

#3. Xerox 8010 Information System (1981)

Not really a guage of mainstream appeal.

Thats right, history -is- written by the victors.

So in that context and given that branding is a tool for generating revenue through product sales, the value of the Amiga brand at present has got to be pretty low.

@persia

Well yes I guess if your using the brand on something profitable that you can capitalize on, like pr0n it has value.
