Sane prices and anything related to the Amiga community are contradictions of terms. 
Well for example, I don't recall the Pegasos 2 to be "insanely priced" for its specifications/performance back in 2004. Sure, maybe somewhat high priced on the introduction in comparison to cheap-end x86, but never insane, and it actually dropped gradually during its entire time in the market.
The lowest price for a new Pegasos 2 happened just before it left the market;
$399 (incl 1GHz G4 CPU card).
