Maybe he just thinks that asking top prices isn't really fair.
It's ludicrous as it is already with people buying outrageous prices for hardware that's over 10 years old.
I have been lucky enough to acquire a lot of my Amiga hardware for way too low prices (according to the market), and if I would be selling anything to a true Amiga fan, I wouldn't ask a top price either. I think us Amigans should help eachother in need, instead of only thinking about the highest profit.
F.i. I bought a BPPC card for 50 Euro, which would probably go for at least double that amount on Ebay. If I ever decide to sell it, I won't be asking 150 Euro as a starting bid.
Same thing with the A1000 that I'm picking up next week. I will get it free, so if anyone wants an A1000, I'll send it to you for just the p&p costs.
But maybe I'm being too dreamy about a non-profit Amiga world. :-)
