Yes, because other insane people pay the insane price being asked for the hardware. Self perpetuating, vicious cycle. We're talking about items being sold for the cost of a monthly mortgage payment for some. Who does that? I've lots of "disposable" income, and, I've always loved the C64 (had one since 1982) and Amiga (1989), and have a great sense of nostalgia for them, which prompted me to acquire a few of them over the last 5 years or so on the CHEAP, and only because I could get them cheap. But, I am not so insane to pay a grand for an accelerator that is a quarter of a century old.
Nor I. I have gotten into this a little more than I thought. Still you have to keep your head on this. Paying and fixing up old computers can be fun but paying those kind of prices?
You might see my thread about fixing the A2000. I just got that with accelerator, Video toaster along with two amiga crts and an A4000 system with toaster. That is not the half of what I got. This guy said if I didn't take it, off to the recycling center.
Not a bit of nostalgia for him. Far saner than us.
