No. This may sound harsh, but some people refuse to accept reality. The Amiga platform is more than 1/4 century old, it is an antique hobby for collectors. Simple market forces are at work, supply and demand.

Don't get me wrong, I've seen some head scratchers. I've seen some fairly common items get sold on eBay for ridiculous prices, but those are usually one off events. Someone lists an item for an absurd price hoping to net a sucker. Usually they don't but occasionally they do. Overall, over time you will simply see supply and demand forces at work as they have since the beginning of time.

If a reseller is paying property taxes and mortgage, or rent on their
long-term storage facility, they must walk the tightrope of high prices
and fewer sales, Vs lower prices with many sales. Limited Amiga parts means
its often the higher priced scenario. Big-box stores sell commodity parts
to the hordes. I'm just happy people save Amigas from the dumpster, even
against the little womans death threats. :hammer:
