It’s an extremely niche product, to be fair. The general public was never going to buy it, and diehards will buy it at a premium price. When you consider the small manufacturing runs they’re probably planning, the price seems less ridiculous IMO.

I wouldn’t pay $300 for it, so I don’t claim it’s a “good value”, but I can understand from a mathematics of manufacturing standpoint why the price is something like that.

Better value than a cocaine or Warhammer habit, probably not as good value as a good chainsaw

You can still get perfectly working original ones for less. Why would anyone want to spend more on a knock off?

  It might not be a “first edition” but it’s definitely not a “knockoff”.

    You know that an AMD FPGA is not the same thing as an AMD CPU right?
