Really, I don't *enjoy* reading them but you are right. I think if someone
actually made a study, you could get some interesting geographical and
soci-economical data from the "Weekend Haul" posts.
But I find that the rules of supply and demand still prevail. If there is
only ONE TI99/4A for sale in town - the guy gets what he wants for it! But
- maybe down in Texas - there may be 20 forsale and you can shop around. I
love my computers but - money - well I ain't got enough 8-)

I also get a little perturbed when people state "This Weekends Haul".
I really don't have the time or inclination to read about all the neat
stuff I DID NOT get. I understand the joy and amazement of those of you
I, for one, enjoy reading about what other people pick up. For one
thing, it is nice to see what pricing other people are paying and it
helps put perspective on other freebee's/purchases I may get in the
future. It also gives a feeling for what computers/stuff is available
out there. These "Weekend Haul" reports give a LOT of good information
and insight other than just "look at the neat stuff I picked up." Isn't
this what collecting is all about?
