Thank guys, I think it's a combination of the market being a bit slow this time of year, and also bad timing since it looks like a few 2060's sold in the weeks prior to my listing.

Worst case, I guess I have to keep it as a backup for my TekMagic. :-P

BTW, AmiBay pricing is ofc the same for anyone who wants to deal through Amiga.org.

I'm in the same boat.
I'm not spending over $500 for an upgrade for a machine I got for less then $100.
An '030 would suit me fine, too.

After all we're talking slow ('060), really slow ('030), and damned slow (stock).

If I want fast I'll use UAE or MorphOS.

I bought a Pegasos 2 years ago when the first batch finally shipped out, sold it after some months and never looked back. G3/G4 was still dog slow for some modern tasks, even back then. MAME was a joke. Probably a different story now on the macs, but I found that I had much more fun with my classics as a retro/hobby platform.

On the oldies, I prefer the '030 for compatibility reasons with an ECS/AGA only machine. Install a decent graphics board though, and the difference between an '030 and '060 is massive.

I can't help it, I'm a speed freak. I like maxing them out ;)

LOL, same here. I had the Blizzard tucked away as a backup for my TekMagic 2060, but decided that I'd sell the Blizzard now to fund some other hobbies, and look for another TekMagic sometime in the future when my wallet is a bit fatter. ;)

Well I knew it would happen, the sale dragged on long enough for me to really think twice about letting it go, so I decided to keep it. :p
