The amiga was around 250-300 quid, the c64 150 ish.
No offence but why not have a Google?

ZX Spectrum 48 KB was launched at £175 (equivalent to £488.48 in 2019); this price was later reduced to £129.
(remembered by Wikipedia)

Amiga 500+ cartoon pack was around £399 for me back in early 90's.

Not sure if i remember this right but think i paid £341 for my amiga 500 and around £225 to £250 for my Atari ST

ZX Spectrum 48k (rubber key version) was £129.99 I'm sure. Or at least that price is stuck in my mind when we went to the local shops when I was a kid.

I might be wrong, I remembered my mum saying that 200 for a megadrive was too much for something you can only play games on when she can get a computer I can do my homework on for a bit more
Error mum, big error

I remember the Amiga 1200 Desktop Dynamite pack being around the same price in the early 90s. As it's all I wanted for Christmas and it was all I got because it was so bloody expensive.

My mum ...sorry i mean santa paid £129.99 for mine and it came with magic land dizzy

Remember paying 400 quid for an Amiga 600HD with a whopping 20MB hard drive!

An A590 Commodore 20MB external expansion, as in megabytes, on its own cost £399. This was the expansion for the A500. I also paid £129 for the official 0.5meg memory card. Original A500 cost about £399 as well. Pretty much everything cost 400 quid in them days. I wish I could remember how much my A4000 cost, but I am pretty sure it was above £1K.

My Amiga 500+ was about £340-350 when it was bought in the early 90's, which was a discounted price as I had to wait for a sale at the local Electronics Boutique shop before my parents caved and bought me one... it came with a copy of Zool, New Zealand Story and Dojo Dan. Those three games became my life...

 

[JUMPURS]

I always remember the Amiga being 400 quid and the Atari ST being 300.

They've held their prices well in the retro market today.

Amazing how much wealthier people were in those days, £399 in 1993 is the same as £850 today! Can't imagine a console selling at that price anymore.

 

[Suicidal Ferret]

They werent. We just didnt have monthly mobile/net/car/streaming subs.

[TripleT]

Had no idea they were so "expensive"!

We had a Spectrum 128k with the built in disk drive.
