Was this a good buy?

dude you paid way to much.  Its a nice rig and all, I'm sure you will enjoy and you got it all as one purcase, but in the future I would let some of those auction go as that just not worth is IMO.
(sx-1 pop up all the time.... it's the sx-32 (i think) that is actualy rare)
patience is a virtue on ebay... as all we know
"haste makes waste"
I have overpaid before, I like the stuff I got so.. lesson learned.

next time have some patience if he can t sell at $450 he will relist for less.... You have gone this long with out the thing.  what's another week.  Help us keep the prices under controll, please donlt over pay if you can help it.
I bet you could have had this setup for $300.  Did you try to make an offer?

enjoy!

or much less, hard to say what this stuff is "worth"
I hope it will be worth more as I have tons of it, but I kinda doubt it... as much as I love these old things I just don't see it turning mainstream anytime... but we can alwasy hope!

yeah I see what you mean, I think I used the wrong word.
I think over time less and less people will go to the trouble of wanting to run a classic amiga.  As much as I enjoy playing with them I get the feel that is i actualy considered an uncool activity (not just by my girlfriend).  It's not like restoring a classic car or anything.  If course I want it to nad hope more people will get involved, just not sure it will happen based on what I see.  Prices are falling on the old grear all the time.  I think those that are going to get into it are already here.

hmmm.  I dunno.  Do see things happening.  I work for a mayor animation company that you would also know.  There are plenty old amiga guys here, they all left ages ago, why?   New machines are BETTER and faster. They look at my collection and might, wow I had one of those and encourage me to sell it all on ebay and get a laptop!  It just that unless your a bit nutts it not practical to have a bunch of amigas about the house.  I think your co-worker and kid next door may be the exeption to the rule.   Also how long will there intrest last once the see how much WORK it was doing it the old way! (and how much better modern software is for making music!)  The "les Paul" is a wood crafted MATURE instument that will never become too old.  The amiga is an ancent  computer that has been improved on soo much over the years.  
I hope you are right and this stuff becomes cool...
