I can understand people getting the rare upgrades just
to get them, but the
prices are a bit insane in my opinion for what you can run. The best thing
for me would have been for Commodore to have lived long enough to sell PPC
Amigas so I can get the classic 68k ones cheap after people moved on to
newer ones. Shocking what I can get for 68K mac for little or nothing and
how much it costs for something close on the Amiga (network cards anyone).

Classic Mac collecting really is dirt cheap except for the oddball exotic
pieces (CC, TAM, TV). It's rewarding, too, what you can do with it; there's a
lot of places blowing used and NOS stuff out by the cartload, and much of
it is still really useful and practical for small servers, even a backup
workstation.
