As I have posted before, those who accuse others of "Hoarding" only want to pay a fraction of the cost of acquiring, restoring, and preparing an Amiga for sale.  Such people have a mental disorder in which they have an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for admiration and a lack of empathy; they are generally unhappy and disappointed when they are not given the special favors or admiration they believe they deserve.

Ha, I realize you posted this months ago, but I just wanted to say, I wouldn't ever call anyone who was selling a restored Amiga at whatever price  as a "hoarder" considering they are willing to sell it, at whatever price.

The Hoarders are the %&$#?@!%&$#?@!%&$#?@!%&$#?@!%&$#?@!%&$#?@!%&$#?@!s who have 20+ Amigas and they're sitting in a closet (just in case) and it does end up driving up the price.  Or I go so far as to say those that are in the extreme price range on ebay (like 5k for a stock A4000D or something) would be in a class of their own.  Those are usually of the "I don't really want to sell it, but someone told me I had to" variety.

P.S.  My Amiga came with some stripped screw holes too :(  I had to use the typical PC screws to get the expansion cards to stay right, but at least you don't really see those with the case off.
