Define "mundane." Can you get H11 software and docs at the 7-11? For
somebody that *needs* the stuff, the prices are on the high side, but not
completely absurd. It's simply impossible to ever say what something is
"worth" unless it's a commodity. Don't even try. As you've seen,
even
prices on ebay vary wildly for the same stuff -- it all depends on who's
looking on a given day. There's no formula. Rare doesn't necessarily
mean valuable, and "mundane" doesn't necessarily mean cheap.
Ok, now its your turn to call this guy and try to make a deal with him.
Once you've thrown your hands up in frustration, come back and post a
message about your ordeal and we'll console you.
Speaking of paper tape, does anybody know where I can
get fanfold paper
tape holders? I've got one holder, and its great to organize the tapes,
but I need a few more. Any good substitutes?
I'm sure you can find something suitable at WalMart in the kitchen
section.
