"Hills, Paul" <Paul.HILLS(a)landisgyr.com> says: For Europe perhaps, but for the States you'd be wrong. That's actually a low price, the US versions typically go for over $400. Why? Because they were indeed rare over here. Later Atari Corp. computers saw very little distribution over here, and much of the production was limited to overseas. Which is why you can find plenty of Falcon's and TT's in Europe and for auction on European Ebay sites. But those actually happen to be the two *hardest* to find micro's here in the the US (which is what the auction in question was for - a US version). Probably the most common Atari Corp. computers you get over here are the 520ST and 1040ST, with the the STE and Mega's coming after that, and the TT and Falcon the least common. That's cool, congrats. :) The Atari Corp. computers, and the Amiga's had a much larger user base and longer shelf life in Europe than in the US. By the time the Falcon was being released for instance, IBM/Wintel (3.1 at that time) and Mac's were considered "the market", the other companies were considered way way back there somewhere and not for serious use anymore. Which is why companies like Amiga tried to find niche markets for their technology (such as latching on to video effects with Videotoaster stuff, or trying to get in to the console market with the CD32 - which they originally intended with the first Amiga). Atari itself decided to get out of the business within a year of releasing the Falcon and just concentrate on consoles (it's Jaguar).
