I'd argue that putting it on eBay and telling this list
isn't quite as good as offering it to the list.

The alternative is what? That I conduct an auction in
private e-mail with a bunch of fellow chiselers who all
have their own notion of a proper price? An eBay auction
gives me rules, structure, anonymity for bidders, and a
wider base of bidders.

If I had an item that I knew was perfectly suited to
a particular person's collection, I'd deal with them directly.

And besides, did I mention that my Amiga items now on eBay are
truly RARE?
