AmigaOS 4.1 for 68k, and i got mad :)

Er, there have been at least 3-4 Picasso II boards on eBay that sold in the $100 range (some cheaper, like $70) in the last month or two alone.  Picasso IV is another story, obviously, but I think there are enough RTG boards to go around if you don't need an integrated scandoubler.

edit: and if you want new, Softhut was supposed to be putting some Spectrum boards out (ZIII anyone?): http://www.softhut.com/cgi-bin/test/Web_store/web_store.cgi?page=catalog/hardware/accelerators/gvp_spectrum.html&cart_id=4661352_82831 albeit at a slightly higher price than used cards.

I'm hoping that a RTG video card gives me that kind of experience but with 16 or 24bit color!

RTG makes a HUGE difference, it's definitely worth the effort, and a major reason I built another machine besides my 1200 (BPPC and BVision combo would've cost far more than I spent purchasing and upgrading my 3000T.)

It would be nice to have the option to use some of this stuff on AGA only (and maybe even ECS) machines, but the limitations are pretty rough.  It stinks that the desktop (1200, 600, 500) machines get left out of the fun as they're definitely cool systems, though I'd like to see the 500 and 600s with the horsepower to run these crazy browsers.

Bottom line, if it doesn't show up on Ebay.ca, it doesn't exist.

..Most of the Amiga stuff isn't in Canada (what the hell is?) and a whole lot of it isn't in the US.  Most European Amiga sellers ship internationally in my experience, and any seller in the US who knows about the international Amiga market will as well. If you want to be a feeb and not search worldwide, bottom line, you're just going to miss out on alot of Amiga stuff that you could've gotten.  Complaining about it just makes you look ridiculous.  I've personally bought 3 or 4 video boards in the last year from international sellers, at decent prices.

edit: Let me at least try and be a little helpful and explain exactly how this works.

Log in to your eBay.ca
Do a search
Check the "Worldwide" option

The results you see will only be auctions that are listed as shipping worldwide or to your country.
