fair price for apple articles

Wanna buy some from me?!? At that price I'll be happy to sell you a few. If it is really new in box, then yeah, I could agree with that price. But I have seen MANY things claimed as "new in box" that are really "we used it for 12 years, and before throwing it out realized we still had the old box so we repacked it". I have seen very few really new in box items, so I am sceptical to those claims. I consider all of the above to be "Thanks" prices. ie: they really aren't worth anything, but you feel compelled to give the person something for being nice enough to save you the effort of digging thru the trash to get it. In my opinion, Thanks prices don't really add up. Kind of like coupon actual value prices. Its worth $1.00 during the transaction, but if you add the value up, you find it is worth half a cent. So 10 monitors @ $5 each would not equal $50, but rather maybe $10 if you were feeling good. Got about 3 moving boxes full of assorted software just a few months ago. All that was headed to the dumpster (I intercepted it on the way). About half Mac, half PC. I also got 2 paper case boxes of IIgs software not much before that, probably 20 or so titles, most in their boxes. All free. I went under the assumption that it could refer to Mac monitors and hard drives since there are Macs included in the list. Actually, now that I think of it, if we are talking about Apple II hard drives (regardless of size), then those are worth something as they are much tougher to find. Yes, we differ here. You fit into the exclusion that I mentioned. That is, you care about having real copies of software. So to YOU the software might be worth something. There are lots of people like me that could care less about original copies, vs getting an "abondonware" copy off an FTP site or so. To people like me, software is of no real $$ value. What's interesting here is I see your point with your pricing. You consider some items to be of value, that I don't. And vice versa (I find some value in a Woz IIgs). So it just goes to show, when pricing things, you can't rely on one source for info, and you should shop around to figure out the best place to market stuff. Maybe this is why eBay prices are always so high... with the wide audience, they increase the odds of hitting someone that lays value on the item. And I'm still amazed that you would give a decent price. I had thought of you as a person that will always claim things are worth far less than they are just to keep prices down. I miss judged you... it must just really be a pure hatred of eBay instead. :-) -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>
