I guess this would depend on how the market perceives
the pricing as seen on
ebay. The Altairs that recently sold there for about $1.5K seemed extremely
reasonable to me considering I was contacted a while back by someone wanting
to buy one of my Altairs. They had sold their previous one for $3K. Every
auction I have ever gone to has always had some clueless bidders bidding
pricing up to the point where knowledgable bidders just laugh (and cry!)
This debate surfaces every so ofter, and I continue to look at selling
prices where there a number of buyers (such as ebay) as a place to watch re:
the final pricing.
Dang...I was at a local scrap yard (they bust things down and sell the different
materials) and there was an Altair faceplate (smashed up and unuseable) laying
in the top of the bin of steel. I wonder if the person that "donated" it to the
scrapper knew what he or she had before they did this terrible
thing? --------------------------------------------------------------------
