Nope, this is just a way of putting a value on it!
What!? Hardly! This is an unfortunate justification of tactics used to
deceive ignorant buyers. Its misleading, pure and simple, and is meant to
artificially inflate the value of an otherwise uninteresting artifact.
First of all, let the buyer beware; ANYONE buying ANYTHING should keep that
in mind. Money makes a really good educator ... at least for some of us.
Second, you are confusing deceit with advertising (although some may argue
they are one and the same :). ) If someone sees something and decides to
either buy or not buy, that is their decision. However the key word here is
"see". I am not a fan of emulators, but for those that are, this might be
something they are interested in. This could also be a way for someone who
didn't realize emulators are out there to find out about them.
Finally, my comment about putting a value on it was about putting it on
ebay. Quite possible I misread the meanings of the other comments :)!
Nice the Nice :) I just can't get the connection
to
the Item title: 'S100 BUS IMSAI ALTAIR Z80 EMULATOR'
Is there any S100 stuff included ? Or anything form /
for an Altair or IMSAI ? Or at least a good story ?
C'mon, Hans! Get with it. This is just a cheezy way to dupe people into
thinking this thing is worth more than it really is.
