Amigas were not legally sold in Brasil up to the early 90's due to the computer reserve law. The law was dropped just some months after I get my Amiga...
At that time I was in Newark NJ and they had and still have a massive Portuguese and Brazilian community. The Brazilians loved the Amiga becuase it was ok to bring it back to Brazil as the A500 was under a certain allocated value of $300 (I think) that you can take into Brazil and get through customs OK. Dudes would take the A500, a girlfriend would take a hard drive attachment, another pall would take the ram, floppy, etc. Pretty funny.
My tax man was a Brazilian and he'd recommend all Brazilians buy Amigas to take back to Brazil, pretty cool.
Plus what you got for $300 compared to say a PC was pretty damn good value.
