This is what I'm worried about. I've actually upped the dose on my
collecting addiction to hopefully beat the mad rush I am expecting to come
with people demanding hundred dollar prices for Commodore 64's and such.

The eBay phenomena, if it continues, may very well disrupt the enjoyment
that this hobby brings for a good while until people start to come back to
their senses (if people ever come back from their senses).
