Yes, now aeon is a bunch of a non profit guys giving new hardware to the amiga community, just for arround 2000 eur, yeah a bargain!

Pruduce any kind of hardware have their cost, yes,  but still overpriced.

Nobody is saying anything about non profit. Thats a strawman.

Economy of scale is very much the case for computer parts. Does that mean this particular price is correct? No idea, but there are middle ground other than "GIVING AWAY FOR FREE" and "OMGWTFBBQ"

hate to say it, but even at 300 dollars, the only people who would buy it would be amiga enthusiasts anyways.

Its not like there's NO cheaper machine possible. There's a new SAM coming out as well for more of an affordable machine, and there's the existing ones as well.
 
They've been clear about that from the beginning

Sure, then we go from an *absolutely insane price* to "very expensive", especially considering the poor performance the Sam offers (*lousy* bang for the buck ratio).

Very expensive but affordable. Unless you are Dell or another company that can churn out thousands of machines, this stuff gets pretty pricey.
Is it overpriced even with that in mind? Possibly. I don't know enough to make that decision.
 
All I know is whether or not something is within the price range I can afford and justify to myself.

IIRC the Pegasos 2 G4 was *never* as expensive as the Sam, despite being so much more powerful, not even when it first was introduced (which was when its price was the highest). Towards the end they put it on sale for $399, and even then it probably included a small profit margin, because Genesi never sold stuff at loss AFAIK.

They also sold the Pegasos for non OS4 uses though. Im not sure where the main sales came from. I'd have bought two in a heartbeat for 399 though, thats for sure
