For at least the last 5 years the MAJOR problem with Apple II related items
is that they don't sell for high enough price, often enough, to keep more
than a small percentage of systems from going directly into gold recovery
bins. I hate to think of how many items that we griped about the silly
selling price on ebay that are now gone, and never likely to show up at
other than wild prices if at all. 16 MB IIfx ram simms, eventide sound
cards for the IIe, Tokamac IIfx 68040 cards.

Nobody is making a lot of money in classic computers, its more like sifting
a LOT of sand for a few small nuggets.
