1.  What stopped you from taking advantage of the tradein deal last year?
    Commodore extended the deal several times, giving you plenty of time
    to decide whether the Amiga 2000's expansion capabilities were 
    worth the $1000 (at most) to tradein (not even considering the
    Amiga 1000 buyback deals which were also available!).  If you
    couldn't afford the $1000 tradein deal, how come you can afford
    to buy all this expansion hardware for the Amiga 2000?

2.  You might wait for the Amiga 2500's to start shipping, and hope that
    the price of an Amiga 2000 will drop.

3.  You might wait for the Amiga 3000, at which time the price of an 
    Amiga 2000 will almost certainly drop.
