As long as the cost DID NOT cost more the real thing. IE: why the heck would you pay $300-$400 for a Clone than $50 to get an A500.If you ask me, these people are absolutely crazy.

The main thing would be to get hardware that isn't 15 years old. A lot of the stuff out there is starting to show its age sadly


This is true, but to replace a $50 item (or what ever) and pay $400 for the same thing but with new parts is just plain insanity. You could get 8 of them hand have those 8 last just as long as a "new one". But hey, it has been proven time and time again, that people are willing to dish out insane money just because it has the word Amiga on it.

BTW I am now selling "New" water bottles for $100 a pop. it is the same as any 50 cents bottle of water, but it is newer and has an Amiga boing ball on the label. If refrigerated, this bottle of water MAY last longer than the original bottle, but it is newer and shiner and has a sparkling jemstone glued to the lid. PM for details

ok! so you are saying than people that pay (for example) +50000$ for a new ford mustang are crazy for not pay less than 10000$ for an old second hand one

We are talking CLONES here Not the real thing. Its like saying would I pay for a $50000 custom kit car,based on a ford Taurus, that looks like a mustang, than a real mustang.
No matter what people say, the Clones will never be able to do everything that the real things can do. Maybe 98%, but I would never pay more for a clone than the Real thing.
