Even in its heyday the Amiga platform wasnt a major player in the computing world (compared to, the C64 for example).  Most computer history books barely reference the Amiga platform and those that do spare maybe a page of generic information.  15+ years after the parent Co's demise, people who used the platform for more than games (a subset of the Amiga userbase) might retain some interest, but the rest of the world doesnt even know it existed.

Anyone willing to pay more than a few quid for an obscure brand needs to wonder "why?"


Its funny because Ive seen estimates that the amiga was rivalling Apple market share for a short while. BUt history is written by the victors I suppose

Thats right, history -is- written by the victors.

So in that context and given that branding is a tool for generating revenue through product sales, the value of the Amiga brand at present has got to be pretty low.


yeah, I can't imagine there's much monetary value involved here
