i know people say about the price of it, but how much was the amigaone and peg boards new
Genesi was selling the Pegasos2-based Open Desktop Workstation for 799 USD. In British pound with an additional 20% VAT, that price would equal 650 GBP.

Various third party resellers built their own Pegasos2-based systems. Sunbeam Business Solutions was selling G3 and G4 machines for 699 and 999 EUR respectively (incl. 16% VAT). In British pound, those prices would equal roughly 600 and 800 GBP.
So, either way, prices for complete and brand new Pegasos systems were far, far south from Aeon's current "north of 1500 GBP" price estimate.
They only sold the ODW later. The first few batches of PEG-2's were quite a bit more. I paid over $1000 for mine, before the "OWB configuration existed". I think I got the 2nd or 3rd batch.
Also the PEG-2 was produced in at least one order of magnitude higher than X1000. X1000 is 100 to 125 units for beta test program.
PEG-2 production was >1000 units I believe, maybe far more. I don't know numbers have never been released.
But the same may hold true. You could find the end-user X1000 boards are a bit cheaper. Also as time goes on, companies need to reduce the price to spur sales, as the technology becomes outdated. (Not so much in the AmigaWorld though, since nothing really moves so fast in this market to make the older stuff obsolete...)
A4000/060/PPC-200MHz, A4000T/060/PPC-233MHz, CD32, MicroA1, Pegasos 2 G4, AMD Phenom Quad Core 2.5GHz, MacMini 1.5GHz/64MB VRam...mwwmwahhh :)
