I realy don't know if this book will hit the big shops soon.
Also, 30 Bucks is less than the average Harry Potter thing .)

Now, I'm very suspicious about any kind of apraisal data. Prices
for old gear are just random. As for what I can tell the ranges
given in the book are in belivable ranges - well, maybe the C64
starts out to high (3-35 /5-40 USD) ... the lower limit for C64s
is still a quater :)
