Yep. My precious second hand A500 stopped functioning and since at that time the PC had taken over and Commodore had gone bankrupt, we tossed it rather than see if it could be repaired. To be fair at that point it had already cost tons of money in replaced monitors, joysticks and mice and it wasn't really being used anymore so at the time it was a fair financial and space decision. It was just another piece of defunct hardware taking up too much space.
Oh oh oh how I hated myself a couple of years later when nostalgia became a disease. Thankfully I discovered WinUAE was already a thing.
