Personally I appreciate that fact that this person let everyone know what he had
for sale.
Don't think we should criticize his posting some expected prices..
I don't care if some people think the price was "Market value:" or not..
The price is relative to where you live anyway, or what you need..
I have been looking for a a couple of pieces offered on that list and purchased
them.
I can't find them here (Where I live) and thought the price very reasonable and in
line ..
But my main point is. This person took the time to offer these items to us,
and to avoid getting tons of email of low ball offers, he reposted the items with
expected prices..
OK a C64 is not worth $30.00 to me (I have 5 of them) but if I had none perhaps I
would pay the price..
I thought I would never pay a $100.00 for a Radio Shack model one, but after 6
months of looking for one
I realized it was worth it. I used to see those things in the dumpsters in the
80's.. Worthless then..
Next purchase is for an original Commodore Pet, are they worth $400.00 , $500.00 ?
looks like they are..
