Amigans should accept so home truths
1. Just like any marketplace supply vs demand. If some fool is willing to pay a high price for a piece of Amiga hardware/software then you cannot blame the sellers for making a buck.
2. A fair share of Amiga users are cheap. Take the minority of users complaining in the early 90s that their 512k 1.3KS 1980s Amiga 500 was unable to play the latest AGA games. If you want cheap grab some early pentium PC from your local tip.
3. Stay off eBay. Some of my best Amiga bargains have not been on eBay. Try alternative means such as least popular online classifieds, second hand stores or garage sales.
4. Accept that fact that most Amiga users do have double standards. It is ok for us to sell our unloved hardware for a premium but yet we expect to buy it on the cheap.
