 A fair price is that agreed to by a willing seller and a willing buyer!



 
 There is little doubt that RIGHT NOW old Amiga hardware is high priced;and this reflects the fact there are more would-be buyers than available hardware.Really the same for the NEW items as well.

 From MY wallet's point of view,much of the Amiga goodies I want are overpriced;but then so is a new car.

Small production runs are more expensive per unit.Look at the Mediator and similar products:the board that lets us use cheap,plentiful,standard PCI cards itself cost as much as many ready-to-use complete Windows home systems.See your local Walmart,Best Buy,or whatever the big retailer is in your area.

Windows hardware is cheap because it is made in huge quantities in Chinese factories.If someone were to finally have the license and backing to order up a new run of  a 1000 PPC CPU  cards selling in the $200 range for the existing Amigas  I believe they would be snapped up.

IDEA for those smarter than me:a small board with just the circuitry needed for one of the cheap Sonnet PPC MAC upgrade CPU cards to do the same job in an Amiga.

It's kind of silly how much some of us,including myself,have spent just to have something different.
