ebay: it can be yours for *only* $200,000

ebay item # 190523729625 This seller routinely lists vintage items at very high prices. (SWTPC 6809 for $2,989.99; Apple IIe $99.99; IBM external 3.5" floppy $99.99 as examples.) Now apparently he's getting out of the business. I doubt anyone is going to pay $200K for his inventory. I seriously doubt his claim that his inventory has a value of $700K. He does have quite a number of interesting systems still in stock. I believe this is because he asks too much money for them. I also suspect that he buys things from other ebay sellers and then marks them up, which is why his prices are higher than the average ebay market price for the same item. I have literally seen an item sell on ebay and then the exact same item listed on his store within a few days for a significant markup. Since he is "retiring", someone in NY might be able to show up and get a bargain. Because I am not close and had a bad experience with him before, I won't be approaching him, but maybe you'll have better luck. -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" -- DirectX 9 draft available for download <http://legalizeadulthood.wordpress.com/the-direct3d-graphics-pipeline/> Legalize Adulthood! <http://legalizeadulthood.wordpress.com>
