I believe it is stupid to try to contact any seller to complain about the high price of an item. If it is way above market prices, it wont sell, so he/she will have to lower it till it finds a sweet spot for a buyer.

Complaining about Amiga high prices does nothing to solve that.

Be honest, there are a lot of Amiga hoarders that have more than a dozen Amigas that never get used at all, and that doesnt help to generate better offers in the used market.
Also there are also some users, that buy and resell at an important markup (highly unreasonable you may say for hobbysts), like for example that guy from Hungary in ebay. Or if you wish, we may add to the list, those 30 or something guys (from Amibay and Ebay) that sold their Amiga ethernet cards way above their buying price, speculating on buying the soon to be released Xsurf-100 at a lower price, so that they keep some pocket change in this process. The exactly same thing happens with Amiga accelerators, especially now that the current ACA 12xxx series batch seems to be reaching out of stock status on the usual Amiga shops.

In the end, I believe that complaining about high prices on Amiga stuff is something that goes from stupidity to hipocresy
But then... it is your choice :)
