$5,550 for it, but not $5,550.50!" I know I'm *way* too >good at

there's always the >"Oh yeah??? Well screw _you_ buddy - take
THI$$$$$!" mindset that has led me to establish >new records for
ridiculous prices on eBay... (But I _did_ get the item, dammit!! ;-)

One must cultivate serenity and patience if one is to participate in
auctions, oh Grasshopper.

On the other hand, I just got a NEC 8201 (TRS-80 Model 100 clone) for
only $36.00. (If this isn't such a great price, please dont' tell me.
It will interfere with my serenity and patience.)
