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
Brand new Atom systems (for a HTPC, motherboard, cpu and graphics) are $200 to $260. An Amiga clone wouldn't qualify for a 10,000 unit discount, so $500 is probably reasonable.
I can get tap water for a couple of cents but it smells foul and I don't want to drink it unless it's boiled.
