So I guess the problem is that Information Wants To Be
Free, and the
Internet Will Liberate Us, and Shopping Online is Phun, and all that,
except when its efficiency seems to work against you. Look on the
bright side: if it weren't for the Net, eBay and this list, fewer
people would be offering these sorts of goods, and most of us would
never hear about them.
Maybe... One of the cool components of the hobby is FINDING the bargain.
These announcements do nothing but raise the prices eventually paid for
these items. I guess that makes sense if your already sitting on a cache of
Altairs and 5100s and are happily watching prices go through the roof. I'd
do everything I could to help that little market develop...
And *anyone* who's not afraid of the stale breath of satan can go to ebay
and search for 'old computers'.
Ok, I promise to say no more on this subject... wait.... Anyone see these
pictures of Marvin's wife at http:\\...
*just kidding* ;)
