Hello All,
I know Amiga hardware is worth money!
But so much?

Thanks in advance,

Yup, I could almost buy two X1000's for the price of an ad-on to a CD32.

That is s cheap compared to some of the ridiculous offerings for both hardware and software.

Oh boy, that is a steal. That is much better than the free legal version I was able to download from the internet.

Here is a good one: $797 for an A1000

The description:  "Unit is in fair used condition with a fair amount of scratches and a couple of deep gouges on the top cover....it's a Rev 6 board ... Top cover includes signatures of the design team. From the missing logos and IDs it looks like a early model or prototype."

Or its been beat to hell!

I can top that - how about US$5900 for an Amiga 1000?

Heh. Seems a lot of amiga people already gave him a hard time about this ridiculous price...this text is in the listing too:

"Now to my Amiga.  In a year, I've gotten around 100 emails from the  passive aggressive to the straight out rude.  If cursing was allowed, I  could just image the emails I would have gotten.  What I've found is  that it actually isn't the pricing per se that is making the "Amiga  community" so ticked off.  It's that I priced an Amiga 1000 higher than  the buyer would like and specifically an Amiga buyer.  Every item I've  bought, the price ranged from really low to the extremely high as in 100  times higher than retail.  Never in my mind did I think of sending the  seller an email and giving them a piece of my mind.  I just bought the  one I could afford and be done with it.  But, with an Amiga buyer, it's  very different.  They have a very unique sense of right and wrong.   I  get emails on how markets work, pricing lessons and even life lessons.   I would banter with them a bit and ask them if they actually have  emailed other sellers with ridiculous prices on a recent purchase.  You  can guess the answer to that.  A lot of other tidbits I found  as well.   I would like to send a big virtual hug to the Amiga community and hope I  was able to help you release some hot air.  "

Alternatively you can also opt for a boxed cdtv trackball for the bargain price of $AU1660

The Commodore Amiga 4000T

[Akiko]

@bitman

I would say a fair price considering Commodore are rumoured to have made only 300 of them.

[jj]

posting suggest they only made 70 and only 35 ever worked.  its damaged though so what makes it so collectable

[swift240]

What gets me is the words they use like "Hard to find", "Very rare","Not many made","Once its gone its gone","Very valuable","One of a kind" and so on.
I saw a listing on an Amiga 1200 "Excellent condition white case upper and lower, Keys all in first factory condition, in supreme shape, hardly used" Actually the tope case was yellow to a degree bottom case was white, keys was well used as in the photo and dirty.

So how on Earth can the seller use such description to sell when any himan being with half decent eye sight could spot it a mile away that it was No WHERE near the condition it was stated by the seller.

I asked him that question and he threatend to report my to eBay. The reply was "please feel free and go ahead."
Well eBay did nothing to me. So for me he could stick his threat right up his CPU cooler.

I hate sellers with that attitude, my question was no way sarcastic or was deemed to be of any insult or any other so why the threat??

I just dont understand some sellers I really don't.

Mike. Partly pi***d off.

Poverty maybe, working poor type, paycheck away from being homeless perhaps. Most of the recent postings of insane speculative prices makes my head hurt. I'm going to be selling my A3000D soon and if I get $250 to $300 for it I'd be satisfied.
