Good luck. I think you'd be better off posting in the 'Wanted Hardware' section of Amibay rather than here, but it's up to you.

Just out of interest, why are you not considering a Vampire V4?

Because my bridgeboard does not work under the Vampire.

There have been a couple the last few days on AmiBay. I think they're still available.

I have a Blizzard 2060 I could potentially sell.  What would you offer for it?

There was a GVP 060 a couple of days ago. They don't come up too often and go fairly quickly so you have to keep on top of it. Mostly 030s like Derringers and 2630s but every few weeks an 060 comes up. The prices haven't been too crazy.

Depends upon what your definition of crazy is.  A grand for a 25+ year old obsolete computer part is almost the definition of crazy.

I don't see it. I would say it is crazy to get generic e.g. Lenovo laptop for about $2500 that will depreciate in about 5 years to something you get get on ebay for about $100+free shipping. THAT is crazy. A $1000 on 060? You can get bottle of wine for it.

It is not obsolete, since it is WANTED, desired and cherished.

EDIT. I have this laptop, got it from ebay :). My wife has $3500 MSPR Levovo laptop, also got it from ebay :) after it depreciated "a little". It other words: two laptops for $5000 MSRP that today nobody cares about.

Sounds like someone needs to look up the definition of obsolete.   It has nothing to do with whether something is wanted, desired, or cherished.  It may have VALUE to those who would pay such a price, like the hipster "retro-gamer" crowd that suddenly decided that owning old hardware is cool, or an aging hoarder that keeps all his boxed computers on shelving units piled up the ceiling while the caps and batteries rot the mainboards, or someone like me who owned these machines as a young adult some 27 years ago and feels nostalgia for them, but, it is STILL OBSOLETE.  Are any major developers producing applications or games for Classic Amiga?  Are any major hardware companies making add-on cards for it?  No on both accounts.  Sure, there is iComp, but, that stuff is STILL not produced in large quantity, nor is there a full line, say, of processor cards, because the processors, are, guess what...obsolete.  Why?  Because the computer is OBSOLETE.  You cannot even get on a modern website on a stock Amiga, or even an 060 (I have a 2060, so I know) without major lag, or, encountering non-functional parts of a website because the Amiga and its software doesn't recognize it...because the Amiga is...OBSOLETE.  Can you play an MP3 or stream video on a classic Amiga (we're not talking about one that has been hijacked by a Vampire, and, really isn't a classic Amiga anymore)?  No again, because it's obsolete.  

$3500 laptops?   I've never spent more than $600 on one, brand new, with an i7 and the latest and greatest.  Who buys that kind of stuff?  Another insane person.
