@red

Most of the PIV auctions that I have witnessed, end at around +-$400. Picked mine up for $365 boxed with all the software and manuals. Looks like it was never used. If I remember correctly, the PIV retailed for something like $1200 when released. Software Hut lists them at $389.95 and I assume they are new in box. Looked through my latest back issues of Amiga World and VideoToaster Magazine and couldn't find anything on the PIV.

The PIV was released 1997. I could be way wrong about the $1200 price tag.  :inquisitive:   I find it tough to believe that the PIV originally sold for less than the PII.

Could you scan those pages to .pdf and share them with the rest of the class?  :-D
