I think this boils down to what is a realistic price for a item.
Take a used terminal, I would like to spend $100 canadian for one,
shipping included. I would not mind spending $5, but will that
get me $200 of headaches. This is where I think we need a informal
price sheets of costs involved. Also a good resource for documentation
and software. Over the last few years many of the $5-$25 items that
I found could have been more valuable I tossed because of lack of
documentation
or no software.
