I think it is a combination of factors.
 
Interesting that a supposed Amiga "enthusiast" couldn't be bothered carrying away a whole system for  a pittance at the car boot sale.

So it would appear interest must be sorely lacking.
There can also be family pressures:I just got a lot of C= goodies (someone else beat me to the Amigas) of a  fellow who was under wife's ORDERS to get rid of that old stuff-I want my room back!

I think those who want an Amiga HAVE an Amiga (or two,or fifteeen).!

The ham radio  classic radios also seem to be much lowered prices,the collectors must now have theirs so the demand is falling.

The current economy causes many to hesitate spending  on non-essentials ,especially if  a spouse will want to know WHY and HOW MUCH?

He did admit to not having used any of it for years.

But sir, there was an AMIGA to be saved from the dustbin !
How could you ignore its plight ?


My experience is flea market sellers often toss unsold items upon leaving.
Have even seen  disappointed  sellers physically destroy unsold items so no one  will benefit.

auction prices vary WILDLY,some buyers do not research but buy on impulse or get caught in auction fever.
