3 times a week I just want to resell my Sam460 because apart from fetching emails and browsing a little I don't (or can't) do much with it.  The good thing is its gonna be worth almost the original cost if I decide to do it.

That's Amiga hardware, classic or not :)

Since the SAM460 is already somewhat of a collectors item I know that I can sell it for pretty much what I paid for it. But I hold on to it 'cause AOS4.2 is due out.


Exactly my toughts (when i'm in a positive mood)  i'm telling myself OS4.2 will be much better.  All I want is to play at least 1 or 2 games using real 3D graphics and watch a DVD movie without crashing the system once in a while....  

But frankly after the 4.2 update its gonna have to be a real improvement to convince me not to get my 1200$ back....

Price of items is based on what people are ready to pay.  So far selling Amiga hardware high price (classic or not) does not seem to be a problem since there is buyers willing to pay.

As for myself I wish the announcements will be worth it, I really want to use my SAM460 for more but when you have been using windows for the past 5 years using AmigaOS seems so much trouble for simple tasks.  Or maybe I just lost my fanboy attributes...

I chose the 460 instead of the X1000 back then because of the price.  I was willing to put around 1200$ to get a new Amiga but not more.  I don't regret it since the X1000 doesn't do anything more at the moment.   The software is just not there...  Bring me user friendly and fully working software!!!    :)

@Delta
There is ongoing development into AmigaOne X1000 software recently, a notable release from A-EON will be LibreOffice which is progressing despite it being a very large software devlopment project.


Oh I have no doubt there is progress on software, i'm just a spoiled brat that wants everything done yesterday ;)  

But seriously, also having to reboot my Amiga 2-3 times a day for crashed software does not help loving it much either...
