I was thinking in what measure the (probable) launch of the V1200 (at - can we guess? - about €200) could change the market.
Vintage B1230 boards (or uquivalent) that now go for €250 or B1260 for €750 on eBay/AmiBay according to you will maintain their value (as true 680x0 hardware) or people's demand (and their market value) will fall down?
Now you have to pay about €1500 to obtain the top A1200 performance with B/PPC+BV (and you get a 20 years old hardware): what will happen when a brand new card will offer you even better performances at a fraction of the price?
I collect Amigas. Part of the thrill for me is picking up hardware that I could not afford back in the day. As a result I will not put a Vampire in any of my main Amigas. They will all remain "classic". For my sake I hope the floor falls out on these crazy Ebay prices due to the availability of the Vampire.
I will however purchase an A1200 vampire if they ever materialize. That will be used to create a 68K AROS beast.
