You know as a collector of Amiga I can't really see where your coming from. I have outbid and been outbid before on Amiga items, it just depends on how bad you want it. As far as collectors just putting the items pn display, well... some do and some use the stuff. As a collector I love new things, but I always use what I bid on. Most amiga collectors are people who have a long history of Amiga use and not only have always wanted certain things but are always wanting more to to find and use. To say $&%^ Ebay is fine, but dont get upset for being outbid on someything that maybe someone else wanted more and might also use. I prefer selling/trading from amiga user to amiga user but Ebay does open the door to a whole new world of finding rare Amiga stuff. Hopefully you wont resort to pirating and just keep your eyes open for the product or maybe see if someone here on A.org might be willing to sell the same item to you.
Cheers!!!
