I think George Carlin said, "some say the glass is half full,
others say it is half empty. I say I see a glass that's twice
as big as it needs to be."

As for the Cat, the guy was smart enough to notice it and
know it might be useful to this list - this puts him a notch
above the person who dumpsters classics, and above the
person who wants to sell their C-64 system for $300.

So he learned it was worth 10x or 20x of what he might
pay for it at Goodwill... what do you expect him to do,
if he's not interested in keeping it for his collection?
(If he has a collection. :) Selling it is human nature.
Profit brought this machine to the list.
