Why are A4000's so expensive?

[wrath of khan]

Saw this on Ebay today - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/COMMODORE-AMIGA-4000-D-040-BOXED-CBM-AMIGA-4000-DESKTOP-/

Why are they so expensive, is it because they made them in fewer numbers and made more A1200 and Amiga cd32  ie: therefore making them more rare? or is groups of people are keeping the price artificially high? I sometime wonder :destroy:

I have one and I think I hang on to it lol :DI got lucky at a car boot sale a few years ago, Some old guy was selling some of son's stuff who had recently died for 50 quid monitor , keyboard and tons of software all thrown in.

That was a lucky day!;)

Lucky for you? Yeah! Not so much for the son.
