Amigas were technologywise pretty advanced for their time, IMO far better than any of Apples offerings then. 1200's can be had somewhat cheap if in a right place at a right time, 4000's are then different matter altogether :(

I have a Cobalt Flux dance pad laying around, I don't think they're rare exactly but they were quite expensive and since the company went under they're highly sought after, being one of the best dance pads you can get (for the small community that still cares about that stuff)
I don't think anything I own could be considered rare. I have 2 boxed copies of Pokemon Sapphire, one of them CIB, I guess CIB GBA games are fairly rare, since they just came in cardboard that most people threw away. But they still sold lots of them.

I'm pretty jelly over that T-T pretty sure me and my friends have run three foam mats into the grave playing Stepmania and I've been thinking about going for a metal pad, but their usually expensive and/or sketchy.

The foam pads are harder to use too, can't really feel where the buttons are.
The Cobalt Flux is dangerous though. You can hurt your feet on the screws and sharp corners. I hurt my feet a couple times before I learned to be careful. Shoes would solve that, but I've always played barefoot, I don't know how to play with shoes.
Don't use it anymore these days. Maybe when I get a better place without neighbors under me.

If I didn't have arcades by me where I've gotten used to using shoes then I'd be the same, too used to using Konami's foam pads even though their slick since that's all there was for the PS2 days.

Also curious, do you have the bar as well or just free form? I don't like using the bar so I've gotten to Expert difficulty for most songs just being good flailing around with good balance.

Do they sell a bar? I'm not sure if they did when I got mine, I don't have it. I got the "arcade style" mod that raises the center and corners though, that was a requirement for me. But not a fan of the raised metal pieces the arcade mod has between the center and each corner, they are the source of a lot of the potential injury risk, and I don't get what purpose they serve.
I like that it doesn't take up much space when not in use, it can be hidden under something or propped up against a wall, a bar would kinda ruin that. And the shipping was already $200. And it's not like I'm fast or light enough to benefit from a bar anyway.

I don't have them on-hand for photos, but I have an unopened Majora's Mask 3DS messenger bag from Club Nintendo, ad a music CD that's now out of print (and a first release) of Evanescence 's little-known first album, aptly titled "Origin". It's the first CD I've ever seen that's got no TOC burned to it, so CD players and computers alike struggle to play it.

i have a 2ds xl and those things are expensive if i remember
I have a Purple Galaxy New 3DS XL in near-mint condition, on firmware 11.7U with Luma. (Haven't really touched it since 2017 when the Switch dropped, lol.) It goes for almost $1,000 USD, and that's wild. It's not like it was hard to find or rare either. Not sure why the 3DS systems are so spendy when they were so plentiful for the longest time. The Wii has never spiked in price, despite having similar popularity. I can still get a complete Wii system for about $15 to $20 in varying degrees of "used".
