Amiga a dying interest or ebay full of cheapskates?

Because when a more or less working 2.5mb A1000 complete sells on ebay for £44 you have to wonder why.

I would expect a working A1000 motherboard alone to be worth this much but obviously it isn't or perhaps ebay is a complete waste if time.

Because loading both a KS and WB disk is a pain in the ass!

I am bidding now on A500+ with 2MB chip RAM for a buck. Seems all the classic Amiga enthusiasts and collectors have moved on and there is not much interest anymore.

That is complete nonsense, unless it just happened in the last few weeks.  (And most of the action in eBay auctions usually occurs in the last few minutes.)

Last week, 10 bidders went after a not-fully-working A4000 .... $371.

I bought a working one on eBay over a year ago for about $250.

If Amiga is dead, can you explain this auction?
