Sure it is, but have you seen the outrageous prices of "buy now" auctions of retro stuff lately? Many of these allow you to give the seller an offer. I myself bought several items for less than a third of the Price the seller had as "buy now". In my opinion 900€-1200€ for this system is _very_ possible. I know that the price for a mostly dead Falcon is about 100-200€ in Germany. A RAM-upgraded working one (without Accelerator) fetches 300-500€. Conrad has to get as much out of this as possible as fast as possible. For comparison: a _unpopulated_ PuPla/2 has sold for 70€ in Germany. Since the Germans are Amiga and Atari _crazy_, there is certainly a market for this.

As i said, its important to get shipping costs as low as possible for worldwide shipping.
