Price Advice pls

I think $100 for an A4091 is crazy.  You could buy a whole A4000 for that on a good day.  If price is no object, maybe.

The A2091 is an equivalent card for the A2000 and you can barely give these away (they are not useless, just not special - and they too have their quirks).

2091 cards are bring $30 to $50 now on ebay and ebid. Depends on how bad you want/need one I guess. 2091 can work in an A4000 but add a new meaning to slow.

Wow...maybe that's the asking price, but does anyone actually pay that much for A2091 cards?

Things really have gotten crazy - these are useful but not great cards.

I guess I still have my head stuck in the 1990s when I could pick up an A500 for $10 at the thrift store, an A2000 for $25 to $50 and an A4000 for $60 to $80.

Oh - and a VIC-20 for $2.99 - I remember the first time I ever visited my local thrift store there were six VIC-20s all priced at that amount.

Its quite funny when I see all the guys with their silly prices. An a400 for $100? Try $500. The A4091 is worth $75+

Well, I think $500 for an A4000 is a little crazy, even if that is the going price.  I don't equate ebay prices with rational, real world flea market, garage sale or classified advert prices either.  Ebay is always inflated. If price is no object to a person, then go shopping for Amiga stuff on eBay.

Even so, I wonder how many people REALLY pay the full asking price on ebay (i.e. how many of those auctions actually close at $500).
I sold an A3000 on ebay last year with all the latest chips and full ZIP RAM, and 040 and it didn't go for that much (I think it sold for between $200 and $300).
