In the above case, I'd say that some people apparently just have too much money and do
not really know what to do with it....

I'd agree with you, but I'm pretty sure that in at least fordkdkk, that's
probably not the case, from what I've learned from other collectors.
Pat Ok, so I thought that the prices on the S/370
consoles were silly, but
at least you were getting something which was obscure and hard to
reproduce.
How much is a small piece of aluminum with some lettering on it worth?
Aparently, between $125 and $411...
Once something is collectible, value is very hard to establish. While such
a price for a "small piece of aluminium with some lettering on it" may seem
outrageous to you, if it is the final missing piece in someone's
collection, that price may be peanuts compared to the increase of the
complete collection's value. --
