Why is the re-sale value of an Amiga 1000 so low?
Are you saying that WordPerfect, SAS/C, Paradox, etc. is worth more than
a A1000?
Are you saying that a dual Apple ][ disk drive is worth more than a A1000?
Are you saying that a used Nintendo w/ a few bundled games is worth more
than a A1000?
A printer, A 2400 baud modem, a hard drive controller etc......

Why is everyone driving the price of a perfectly good computer WITH a 
disk drive, multi-io ports down to the price of a Nintendo?

Any used Apple ]['s (except MAYBE for the //) is selling more than this.
