Ouch, that's expensive!!
« on: June 21, 2007, 11:22:24 PM »
I've been looking around for a little while now to buy bits to towerise my 1200. Would love to get my hands on a 060 PPC; then I saw this!!  http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110138225193&ssPageName=ADME:B:WNA:UK:12
I know this stuff is hard to come by but damn, that's expensive! :-o

It was the second-best ever made (there was a 240MHz version, but 400GBP (american keyboard) is serious money!

Thats really crazy price but unfortunately their are people obviously prepared to pay that much!Another one to keep an eye on for OS4 enthusiasts is the Amiga One (sorry not sure how to cut and paste link).The other thing of note about that 060 card its the PPC one.If memory serves I think its one of the fastest!!!£230 and two days left to go on the A1 with G3 cpu

Yeah thats a huge price tag, but if you want it and make lots of money then I guess they'll pay it.

My question is, if you had one would you give it up for that amount? I don't think I'd give mine up for that. That's probably why the prices are so high. It's not necessarily what they're worth. It's what it takes to get them away from the people that have them.
I sold my Amiga for a small fortune, but a part of my soul went with it.
