Hmmm well I am a tight git and don`t have any money at the moment but if I was financially inclined again these are the prices that I would ideally pay and would try to.  Hope your not too disappointed with my answer, for me I rather spend more money on a newer Amiga as a lot of the hardware is now just too old and won`t last much longer.

Cheers,
Timo

I respect his opinions and hardware being old ans such, but reality is that everything in that list goes 2, 3 or 4 times the prices he has there (with the exception of Retina Z2 I think, which is just fair.)

Its amazing, I remember when I was back in the UK and it was I think `94 and I went the World of Amiga show and I managed to pick up an A3000 for 50 quid and Picasso II I think for around 30 quid, man I wish I had kept that stuff and not traded it in for an Amiga 1200 later on.

I guess the irony is that the Amiga was made as a lowcost home computer which was affordable to the average home and now the prices are shooting up so that the Amiga will most likely in the future be only for the super rich.  Though I can understand because there are less machines and the demand is there but I think it is sad that a machine that was made for the people will soon be available only to the ones with deep pockets.
