I don't know what all the fuss is about. It is simple supply and demand economics. The supplies of working Amiga hardware that is no longer being produced is shrinking while the demand varies up and down, but has seemed to increase over the past couple of years due to increased interest in retro machines. This has pushed the value of these somewhat rare items up to levels that seem unreasonable by some of us long time Amiga users that remember the cheap days on eBay or elsewhere of a few years ago. I am an Amiga collector, not just an Amiga user, and as such have from time to time paid what may be considered a high price for an item that I really want to complete part of my collection. There are a few others out there like me and then there are new users to the Amiga world that don't know any better and have the cash to burn, so they bid items up to crazy amounts. Why get upset about it, the high prices only make what you have worth more as well. Don't worry, be happy :-D
