Speaking of eBay

Crazy! Sometimes it seems like there is a hidden, darker side of our hobby -- the people who collect almost in secret and don't share it with anyone. I'm not condemning these people; I'm sure they appreciate their collections as much as anyone else. But it makes me wonder, what is the most that we've all knowingly over-paid for a collector's item in the hobby -- perhaps something that you really wanted and said "just this once"...? For example, I collect vintage handhelds, and last year I traded a Psion Series 7 (sometimes valued at $1,000) to acquire a Psion Organiser 1 (probably worth a few hundred dollars at most, but exceedingly hard to find one for sale and in good condition). --- "Erik S.
