Amiga 3400 prototype on Ebay

Jope: LOL.. I wouldnt say that I havent experienced a negative balance. I just keep almost nothing in there just in case. If Paypal were to take $200 from my acct and I only had $10 or $20, my bank would cancel that withdrawl and they would get nothing. It hasnt come down to that though..I havent been burned *yet*.

Yeah, but then they turn the debt over to a credit collections agency.  So you can either pay up the difference, or have your credit history permanently fux0rd.  With the costs of getting a lawyer to sort out your credit history, it's cheaper to pay up.  F***kin' criminals, PayPal are.

I would never pay that much for an ugly piece of crap that does not even come with a top. I guess it just shows how stupid some people are.

Not really.  I think it probably would have been a smart investment.  Early Apple prototypes can now sell in the range of $5,000-$10,000.  There's no reason to think that in another decade that prototype wouldn't bring a similiar figure.  5-10x return on investment, plus posession of a historically significant Amiga artifact seems pretty smart to me.
