I've noticed that too here in Sweden. Prices of certain models (like the A500, of there was plenty sold here) have dropped quite a bit but the flow of computers on the market is still very slow. I guess people are holding on to their treasures, maybe for better times when the economy is better and people can afford to pay premium prices again. 

I saw one ad the other day that made me chuckle: some guy was selling one Amiga mouse, the last model (which used to cost like 30-40USD) for 2500 SEK (about 250USD).   It hasn't sold yet.
