I've noticed a similar trend on Craigslist.  An Atari 800XL offered
for $250 "first come, first served".  70's era solid-state stereo
receivers for $300.  Pentium 3 desktops for $150; Dell CRT VGA
monitors for $50.
This is the sort of stuff that used to appear on Freecycle or be left
at the curbside.  It smells a bit of desperation.
