^^^ Ahh yes "the model number equals the price" Amiga period in Australia

We tend to forget how expensive stock Amiga's were.  

You could install a new kitchen for the price of stock A4000, and renovate the bathroom for the price of an A1200.

Luckily I only got in to Amiga in 1995, everyone was getting rid of them.

 One of the joys was reading through the Melbourne Trading Post, and having your pick of Amiga hardware- mostly A500 with boxes of software, but plenty of '030 A1200's ( DKB stuff mostly), plenty of wedding videographers A2000 with genlock's.

Eventually picked up an A4000 with Cyberstorm 68060 with cyberscsi and 6 gig scsi drives, CV64, NEC 3D monitor, boxed Imagine 4, Dpaint 5 and Brilliance 2 and DopUs4, Wordworth Office, boxes of ahem game back up discs.

$700 Aus ie $400 US


Good times.
