Then it obviously /is/ worth $342. To you. It's not worth $0.01 to me.
The relative values of things to people - especially collector items - is
so variable as to be almost meaningless. I'd have happily paid £100 for a
Sharp MZ-80K two years ago. Now I'll baulk at anything over about £25, and
I'd prefer it free. Why? Because I have two of them now. Their relative
value to me as a purchaser has changed significantly for reasons which are
totally unrelated to their "real" value. Same goes for the MZ-80A & B, of
which I have 2 & 1 examples respectively. I'd still pay £50 or so for a VGC
"B", as the one I have has a slightly dubious keyboard & a nasty scratch in
the screen which I don't think is repairable.
