Chill Jimbo,  
 
You're obviously an expert in the field so I bow to your superior argument, albeit requalified from the original point.

I will say, (to all the space cadets out there) if you know how to look, and you don’t fall into the common bid wars you can pick up bargains on ebay.
You need to keep your eyes open and know how to search.  
Otherwise you might get frustrated missing out all the time. Frustration leads to fear, fear leads to anger, anger leads to the dark side.

PS: You can also pick up cheap Valium on ebay.....

Brian, I wish there were more Amigans like you...

 :-D

But bidding wars are _fun_! And then you get that little email saying You _Won_!
Ebay is evil but it's hard to resist...  :cry:

BTBTW: It went for $355AU, About $450US..  Well done.

355 au is 275.60 us on all the curency conversion sites i went to.  
i want an ntsc 600 really bad, but the accelerators always seemed like hacks to me. clipon thingies that always lost contact and crashed or overheated and crashed. i wouldnt pay more than 100us for one. which means id never get one
Oh yeah?!?
Well your stupid bit is set,
and its read only!

Yeah, Sorry I did the reverse translation US$ to AU$ using an AU$ base. Silly me.
I was gonna edit it when I saw the mistake but you had already posted so I replied.
It's 23:40 over here & I'd just finished a nice single malt scotch on ice,,, so my bad...
I toyed with the idea of a600 but they are so "non upgradable" that I passed.  But that is the challange for some people isn't it.

 Oh so your comparing that purchase nearly two years ago to what the market is forcing today...I will say again for the space cadets in the forum, you will NOT, I REPEAT NOT purchase any form of 68030 accelerator for your Amiga 1200 for anywhere near $90AU in 2007.  Clear now!


Excuse Jimbo?  
Is $103.50AU for a Cobra 030 @ 40mhz. anywhere near $90AU ?
I would say yes:
