Have you got a PPC?

I too would never spend $500US for a used, ten year old PPC card that had been through the hands of several owners.

I might pay that though for a brand new card --- come on new hardware!

Do you honestly think you could buy a NEW card for 500 bucks, even if they were being manufactured?
It'd be nice, but I seriously doubt it!

I would NOT give 1000 euros for an A1 machine.(on ebay usually that is the price it goes).Or give 400+ euros for an old ppc that runs at 200/233 mhz.

If an MKII 060 Cyberstorm can sell for this kind of Dollaridge, It will be someone elses money that does!  ;-)

The inflated Ebay prices do not reflect that actual manufacturing cost to do a run of modern PPC cards using current components.

But you're wrong & missed the fact that a 604e @ 200Mhz sold for £262 on eBay only weeks ago. This is NOT an inflated price! Same {bleep} happened with a G-Rex

Having newly made PPC boards on the market might even bring some sanity back to the prices for the old PPC boards - as there wouldn't be as much demand.

This kinda contradicts itself buying a 604e for £262. It really is a buyers market on eBay. Some weeks better than others. Just depends how many people are wanting at that particular time of sale.
