Couldn't help but notice while surfing at it, at work.

Seems to be worth quite a bit, crazy runup???

I have the exact same set up plus or minus the cd & dvd software.  Not sure what is causing the bidding to go up that high, but I do know there is nothing super special about it.   I would estimate my cost for my similar A1200 (same processor) with all the extras to be a round $475US.   Power to the seller.

I would say that is a bit on the low side. If you get one from AmigaKit (refurbished, not new) the IDE split/fix (even a cheap one) you are looking at about $200 USD. Any accelorator goes for between 300-350 these days. I would suspect a new Amiga user, in order to get a "Compete" package would spend close to $700 (with shipping) to get all of that gear.
I got mine from AmigaKit, and with the Indivision and shipping and taxes (with an 80 gig HD and OS 3.1) cost me close to $530 Canadian. Add that processor card, and it brings it well of $700. I still have to get an IDE Express card and I want to get a Co-Processor (another $200), Plus I have on route a network card and a Easy ADF package. By the end of the year, I will have spent Close to a grand if not more on mine.And that JUST my 1200.

That maybe so on the real world pricing being too low, but I was giving you what it cost me to obtain everything on my machine.  If I was to sell it my starting price would be $475 and I would hope that I could get as much for it as the A1200 on ePay.:)
