This seems REALLY reasonable to me and would buy it *if* I had an A4000. What's going on here? Is it because it's a MK I? OR because it does not have a PPC chip?

Do you think people are starting to skip this stuff and go straight for a SAM, Efika, etc?

@ Kin-Hell:

I know the other hardware and the legacy stuff is different... just wondering if there is a different mindset NOW that there are more modern options. A few months ago, I highly doubt an 060 expansion system for ANY legacy Amiga would have lasted long on ePay with a buy it now of "only" $400. I'd probably pay that to get one for my A2000 or A1200.  

BUT... I've been thinking about doing the PPC thing to monkey around with MorphOS. I've got several Amiga systems already, but they're just 030's with no graphics accelerator. Would I like to pimp out a legacy system? You bet! But that is very cost prohibitive and really, when you boil it down, probably doesn't make too much sense from a monetary investment point of view.

A hobby is a hobby for sure, but I'm just wondering if there are other Amiga enthusiasts that feel like me: would like a "fancier" Amiga and in a position where buying NEW hardware would actually be cheaper & yield more computing power vs. dumping $$$ into old hardware.
