Man, I can't believe this...  it was the best BlizzardPPC released but.. it went for over US$1200!  

How much did it cost new?

UPDATE-
From what I was able to find out, the new cost was 1,359.04 USD. So someone has already paid more than the ebay price for that very board, at a time when the PPC was esentially useless, and no OS4 on the horizion. Isn't that even more unbelievable?

Good point. Just for fun, from a previous post, let's replace Amiga references with references to Harley Davidson motorcycles, which are old and slow compared with modern Asian machines:

oh come off it. not today it isn't. it (Harley's) can still be used, and in some rare cases it can sitll be more efficient than a bullet bike, but it's nowhere near something you can call value for money/cost effective. USD 20 000 for outdated hardware? ridiculous.

With logic like that,  Harley Davidson is surely doomed.
