I'll believe when I hear folks here that bought them.  And how do we know if this is new old stock or old stock / refurbished???  pics of pcb+production would be nice.

@Iggy

I agree with you.  I also am sceptical that these are newly manufactured items.  Even here in USA, chips/parts/solder sold by chip/parts big business are now ROHS compliant.  
I also think that GVP/Softhut should have posted pictured if they have something concrete.  Others, like Individual Computers always do, and show that their hardware is new (I love seeing (c) 2008 23 years later after Amiga release! :-) )
Also, one of my major complains about 68040/60 GVP made boards, is their drivers simply are not good (you have to use their competitor's Phase 5 libs).  Worse, when I emailed GVP few years back for support I never got a reply.  And Softhut's tech support is pretty limited, I frankly don't think they are knowledgable (perhaps they let go some of their good people?).  Anyway, just being sceptical and willing to wait to see before buying. :-P
