Yeah, but most people that put stuff on ebay don't have a clue what things
are REALLY worth. (This also applies to some people that are buying
things. And no, $40k for a CISC as400 doesn't seem reasonable to me.)

People would have to learn what stuff is worth first, and that takes time-
time that people are not willing to spend.
