Uh, "Price Gouging?"

There's still loads of classic Amiga goodies to be had for not a lot.
Amiga 500s you can get very cheap. I just bought an A600 for £20. I've bought a 68030 accelerator for the A1200 for £50, and then bought another for £60 shortly after.

You just need to watch eBay carefully, that's all. The 600 went at a funny time of day, so was cheap. The A1200 accelerators - one of them had a capacitor come off (5 seconds with a soldering iron fixed that), and the other one was advertised as a "ROM upgrade" despite the fact it was clearly an accelerator.

Point is, if you go to the established sellers you're going to pay a lot more. If you look around and be patient, you will find a bargain. Heck, the thing I've been playing with most was a bridgeboard that someone sent to me for the price of postage, can't get much better than that.

Remember - just because some people have put a high price tag on an Amiga thing, doesn't mean they'll actually get that price....

'tis true, we're lucky in the UK. Heck, it's a few years back now but it's not that long ago that I bought three working Amiga 1500s for £60 including keyboards and a few spare (populated) PCBs. I got an A500 complete in box for £10 just at the beginning of the year though.

A1200s are a bit more pricey, though, normally about £50 more or less.

Maybe you should get one from the UK, probably still be cheaper even after postage.
