I think every system worth "what" it worths for who search for them. It also depends in wich country you are living and how dificult is to find those items. I've spend a lot of time trying to buy for the best price my amiga items. I think on the last years many people just sell commodore and atari stuff to gain some good money on it on their own profit and it's because of the market expeculation that many times, sellers without the intention of doing that, see those expensive prices from other people and they end selling their stuff also expensive. The whole market it's addicted and inflactioned. It also depends on the use that we are gonna give to those items, I only buy items that i can play regular on it, not just to expose on a corner. The relation cost/benefict is diferent from buyer to buyer.

I'm sorry, but the Amiga 500 is far superior to the 1200, thus the increased price...

It's still 124$... A little overprised for an A500 + hazy 1084, isn't it?

The person who bought this might disagree.

And the person who bought this is quite insane.

That one went for "only" 70BP (and the A500 was still sealed and in his original box + original boxed games)... Not 124$.

That included 60 original boxed games.

So 124$ for one A500+1084 + a bunch of copied games is quit expensive.
