I know others may have asked this in the past but how many people are willing to pay for an assembled minimig and for what price?


I would love to get a Fully assembled one, but at 270 Euros ($438.17, CND) the price is way out of my reach, considering I can get 2-3 classic Amiga's and still have enough for beer left over. The exchange rate to CND is killer. Over double for GBP.
I have Amiga stuff for sale at http://amigalounge.com. You can follow my builds there also.

How much are you willing to spend?

Please, don't take it the wrong way, your time means a lot (i know, everyone wants it for cheap.) and it is  worth every penny, to make a small run. It's like the Samm 440, I think a reasonable selling price would be about $100 US, to make it feasible for a guy like me (and a lot of people). I can't see the point, when I can get (I hate to use the term "Real") Amiga's in for less then $100. I see the Samm as 3 times over priced- It should be $200 US tops for the bare board.
It would be a whole different ball game if A500's were not given away here, or A600's could not be had for less for less than $100. But when you weigh the pros and con's of a Minimig over a classic Amiga,(and i am not just talking about prices here, but everything- availability, programing, etc), I can't justify a $400 hit for something I can get for less then $100 Complete and plug and play.

And I understand- $100 or even 100 Euros is just not worth you time or effort to produce these. I totally understand that.
