people get into the "ebay Zone" and think that a C64 with a 1541 is worth
$300..........You used to be able to pick up some nice pieces for a decent
price, but within the last 6 months or so, people just get absolutely stupid when
they start bidding.

you obviously did not check it out, but you are correct. the bidding had closed with no
bids.
I just did check it out and the auction closed a few hours after 2 days of
being posted. Since that is a non-standard ebay auction time, the seller
must have closed it out ... probably after Pax looked at it and before you
did :)!
I found an amusing listing tonight on ebay for a Kaypro 2 listed at $1000.
With that kind of asking / starting price I bet he gets no bids.
