It is priced way, way far out of range for my hobby budget. 2010 has been a challenging year for much of the US, EU and elsewhere. I think it will be tough selling such a high priced novelty item in such an environment.

Before you jump on me for saying novelty, I think MorphOS and AROS are also novelties for hobbyists.

It is definitely out of my price range as well.
But i think it is clearly meets the budget of some amigans considering the prices classic systems go for at ebay.

The super high prices of certain retro items on eBay are for hard core collectors. The number of these collectors are in the 10's...

Until we know price for sure, there is little point talking about it.
