..and I feel like selling my second A4000 in mint condition for 50 quid just to make a point that idiots like you exist...Rant over:angel:


Going to be cheeky... sold ;-)

I have to agree with you though. I'd love to get into the Amiga scene more, but as I've discovered prices are inflated artificially high.

Items selling on ebay that are for a good price get snapped up quickly by a select few and then relisted on ebay for twice the price.

Some people hold on to 5 or 6 of the same item, which also forces the price up and makes things seem rarer than what they're.

On our local auction site it's pointless bidding on items as there is one person on there that bids on everything forcing the price higher than what other people can afford and then relists them again for an even higher price.

There a couple of good people in the scene though that want to see more people get involved or find the youth again. (In my case nostalgia).

But for Amigas and accelerator cards it's hardwork.
