It sounds like you are putting a lower limit on *quality*, not *price*.
This is what I think most consumers who are considering a major purchase
will do, and an Amiga is a major purchase.  One should be suspicous of
a deal that seems too good to be true, but if the product turns out to
be good, then I think a low price will help, not hurt.
