No different to a PC of the day. And the PC, trust me was crap. I priced out like for like before I bought my Amiga 1200 in 1993 and the PC was more expensive. And having experienced a PC of the day trust me you didn`t want to go there.
Computing in those days was very expensive. What ever you ran. The Amiga was way ahead of its competitors in multitasking, animations etc and thats why. The Amiga though was the only model that let you start modest and build to your own pace. Unlike the tinboxes and Macs of the day.
As for 1998 ....
By 1998 the market of supply and demand was such that because of the falling user base the makers of the 060 had to lift the price to stay alive. Personally I would still pay those prices now if I could get a new Cyberstorm.... ar hum.
