Yeah, I hear ya on that.... I've been bidding on
a bunch of Corvus
equipment lately and keep getting outbid as I'm just not going to pay
the outrageous ebay prices above what I think is fair for the
equipment. Quite frankly I was rather surprised at home many people
bid on Corvus stuff, I honestly thought Al Kossow and I were about the
only people on the face of the earth who even knew what the stuff was! ;-)
Well, keep in mind that there are still many collectors out there that we
haven't "reached" yet, and there are also people who will bid ridiculous
amounts on anything just because it looks cool.
But I see what you mean. I did a search on concluded auctions and some
guy is buying up stuff at stupid prices. Item #5242546074 is a relatively
common hard drive interface for the Apple ][. He paid $77. I should go
dig out the 3-4 I have in my Apple ][ junkbox.
