Yep, Amiga is no longer a poor mans hobby, it's moved to the collectable price range and as equipment dies and supply becomes more scarce it will only become more expensive. Ironic that a machine that started out as a "people's machine" ends up as just the opposite.
Me, I'm out of the market. I'll keep what I've got but if it dies I'm not replacing it, UAE is so much faster and better that I no longer can justify the price spread.
