An illustration of how it pays to be patient and judicious in when you
sell: there's a fellow in Vancouver BC (eBay id packnship) who has (or had)
a large number of new or near new Amiga CD-32s. He's been steadily
trickling them onto the market, one at a time, for months if not years.
Every once in a while he throws in an extra goodie, like an SX-1 expansion
or a CD-32 modem. They continually fetch good prices. I suspect that a
Dutch auction or sale in bulk would have realized much lower prices.

If you want a new in box CD-32, watch Computers > Hardware > Amiga on eBay
for a while.

Mark.
