I dunno,
I just looked, the guy is from Canada actually... I don't know the
availbility situation there... I know over in the UK/Europe the market
their was flooded to the gills with C64's, Atari XE's and Sinclairs so
perhaps you have a lot more stuff available... An Atari 130XE here in
the US I know can fetch an average of $25-$35, and a 1050 can get about
that much, so comparing to what the guy has and all the software, $99
isn't that bad, a little high I'd say (I'd think $75-$79 might've been a
better price) but not that bad.
