Why is NTSC Amiga 500+ so hard to find?

Yes they are very rare as not many were sold here in the US, most moved onto the A600 by then or bought the original A500.  The A600 can be upgraded to 2MB Chip with a trapdoor module.

Just wanted to let everyone know that I just bought a NTSC A500 Plus motherboard on eBay! There is one more for sale right now for $79 with some battery leak damage but it seems to be working.  These are hard to find in NTSC.  I already have one in PAL.

I wish someone would  just mass produce a cheap IDE adaptor that fits in via the 68k socket for Amiga 500/1000 machines.

There is one in the works!  ACA500.  Will be a 14MHz 68000, 2MB RAM and IDE.  And a A1200 CPU slot!  

I'm not surprised by the rarity of certain NTSC models, Americans really were dumb idiots with their useless Macs and pathetic PCs being sold non-stop even in the mid 80s? Honestly why were Americans so f**king stupid to buy EGA PCs and that putrid homo lovers console the NES? Why???

The whole downfall of C= is down to idiot Americans buying Ninbendo NES rubbish and sub standard PCs which couldn't even label files with as many characters as a f**king Commodore C64 from a decade before it :huh:

Yeah I never got it either.  I was one of the Americans who got it. lol  Been an Amiga fan since 1986.  I hated the clunky over priced PC's and when VGA came out it seemed like it was over.  The Amiga with it's ECS chipset was "obsolete"  AGA came out 2 years too late.
