I dunno, I think the 275 dollar had to be a fluke. I tend to do e-bay searches like "amiga" then hit the price button (since I don't care to look at the crud load of 99cents games). I've have seen some obscene prices, it's funny though that the monitors (like 1950s or even 1084s) go for more than buying a gfx card and getting a second hand VGA monitor would cost. As for floppy drives, some day I intend on spending the 4 or so dollars for buying a nice TEAC for my Catweasel, which should be more accepting of real Amiga disks. I have heard atleast (and I think it mentions on teac model particularly in the manual) that TEAC drives are generally very high quality... only bummer would be that a catweasel isn't bootable, so I'd have to fire up a real DD drive if the system went kaboom, but my 2000 is atleast as stable as my Xp box, and probably would suffer less if I left it on a long time, whereas the Xp box slows down more and more. Anyhow, I'm rambling, American prices on e-bay are generally obscene yes, tip: try
www.ebay.de some stuff is cheaper, even with shipping, and there're enough nice europeans here if the seller doesn't want to ship to US.
