after all, there is not really anything that cheap pc cannot do and that card can. surely in few years there will be amiga_ppc emulator built in uae.
this reminds me of "Tulip mania".

Anyone who thinks that the prices of these will keep going up is going to be sorely disappointed at some point. They aren't an investment, you're buying into a dream. The cost is purely based on the number of people who are willing to pay for the dream.
 
However, I too have a large collection of what basically is useless junk that hopefully I'll get round to selling before the price collapses.
 
I've seen it happen in arcade collecting, jamma boards that you could buy cheap and then sell more expensive as more people got into it. Now most people are selling, it's easier to just dump it.

Its one of those things that sort of sucks for those who want to actually use and mess around with amiga's. People drive up the price, then get bored and toss the gear.

I agree with that point, I never sell any of my Amiga gear no matter how tempting the price you could get for some of the stuff, and would never dream of binning any of it even if it was broken... :)

Maybe that explains why (with no Amigas) I'm still holding on to a Voodoo3 2000 video card.

That's taking the pish. My 240MHz 603/ 25MHz 68040 version with SCSI cost significantly less than this when it was brand spanking new.

Yeah... I couldn't remember the price off hand of one of these when new, but that guy is either very thick or if someone actually buys it, very smart... :)

My Amiga CD64 prototype has gotta be worth about 50 grand. Hedley Davis speaks about it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cml_YsTznRU I wonder what the world would be like if the CBM/Acorn/ATI merger had gone through?

Me too, should've known better... :rolleyes:

Now here's the bad new's I've had a guy contact me who produces indie records asking me to put him in touch with Doomy, and I kinda let him know where to find him. Now it looks like were going to get a full length professionally produced version of Only Amiga featuring the one and only The DoomMaster... erm... sorry folks... :(
