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!!!
