That's me. I had the high bid. The reserve was $100. The seller is willing
to sell to me first if I pay the reserve amount. I personally was not unhappy
when the price was around $50. I didn't _really_ mind $76, but at $100, I'm
forced to consider it hard. I mean, I already *have* working core, several
stacks in working machines. I don't _need_ this, thus the debate.

Thanks,
