I just checked AmiBay, it has eight hardware for sale subforums. On the main page it says**:
Amiga got the most with 3000 Threads / 47123 Posts.
Amstrad is the smallest with just 49 Threads / 346 Posts.
Other has 3836 Threads / 28941 Posts - My rough guess is that about half of that is IBM PC.
So in that regard it is not really fair and practical. Unless they do it on purpose. Like if they do put an IBM PC section there, people will notice it and think it is a good place to dump loads of Pentium IV and Core Duo stuff. Which some may consider as just non-vintage noise.
** When you click the actual subforum it has more threads/posts? There are also archived posts subforums.
My guess would be that if looking at the more recent posts (of say, only the last year or 2), things have turned more towards PC stuff anyway. It makes sense as there will be more PC stuff coming in and al the other "markets" have limited supply as well as limited interested people (due to nostalgia aging as well).

This sometimes gives me PMS as well 😵
Lets not go this way. Last time I even mentioned something along the lines of me considering giving some of the more common stuff away, someone send me a PM and it ended up with this person asking for things like Upgradeware, Slot 1 1GHz 100FSB, rare cards (but of course only the Ultra variants with maximum memory configurations)...no thank you!

Well technically systems that are build today using old parts are new systems, right?
