I guess I picked the wrong time to get back in to the Amiga

Seriously, $4000 for a 4000T?  $2500 for a flaky Amigaone?  $800+ for a 3000D?  $1000+ for PPC accelerators?  Oh how I envy you guys who got in when everything was dirt cheap.  What other classic platform is commanding prices like this?  What's driving it?  And, with all this money flying around, can we get together and attract a mobo manufacturer?

Heh, Dan, I see that you are the buyer of that 3000!  Congrats, I hope you use and enjoy it...

I have only been watching for a couple of months, but it seems that in that short time, prices have really escalated.  e.g. I 've bid on a few Picasso IV's; the first couple went for $250-300, now they go for $400+.  The PPC accelerators were going for $500-600 when I first looked, now it's over $1000.  Maybe it's just the ebb and tide of the market, and I don't really have enough of a sample size to make a judgment, but it sure seems like things are taking off.

The thing about the A3000 originally going for $4000...the contemporaries of the A3000's day that cost as much then don't go for nearly as much now.  What has spawned all this interest in the Amiga?

Plaz, I have to think that since Amiga Inc is not interested in the Amiga, and is only using the name for recognition, they will sell it as soon as it is in their monetary interest to do so.  So, I'm one who's not given up hope yet in a modern Amiga.  Never say never...
