A few years ago I managed to get an A500, a CD32, a 1084s, and a bunch of peripherals for under $200 by checking CL every day for months. Since then I haven't seen anything even close to those prices. Now people are asking close to $200 for just an A500 with no monitor.
A2000s are typically much more. It's absurd, and I don't see myself ever buying classic hardware again.
I'll probably buy one of Jens' accelerators and maybe an FPGA clone board, but no more dusty old hardware.
