Prices get hight because *people* are willing to pay that much. It's
not eBay's fault, it's the people's fault. And if people will pay
that much (especially if it happens regularly), then that's what the
item is *worth*. There is nothing wrong with wanting what the item
is worth.
Personally, I would offer any classiccmp item to the list before
putting it on eBay, but I am not offended by those who go straight to
auctioning.
