My guess is then that you didn't need it.

Last month at TRW I was looking in a box of mac junk, offered the guy $35
for it, which he considered for minute, then started digging through the
box and pulled out a card and sold it for $150 to another person who just
walked up. Sometimes you win, sometimes you get what you need, sometimes it
goes right past you.

OTOH the really curious card I bought from him turns out to be functionally
useless.

My eBay peeve are people who say FS, but really just have a eBay link.

I use eBay to set my own prices and it cuts both ways. Most items have
drastically lowered prices, with just a few critical items holding value or
going up.
