Well no, it isn't done all the time. At least on the comp.sys, comp.os,
and alt.comp newsgroups I follow. It's considered spam and those who do
it are invited to go elsewhere. Besides, no point in listing that stuff
here if you are also going to ebay, the people here know the relative
scarcity/worth of the items. On ebay you can take advantage of
ignorance and buying frenzy.
Man, you're telling me. Anybody else notice the $572 PET 2001? And
that auction isn't over yet... Does anyone think this sort of thing
will continue/escalate long-term? It's got me tempted to start
unloading things I'm kinda fond of simply because I have kids to put
through college somehow... Maybe it's best to do it now, if it's just
some kind of fad, then re-purchase at $5 later on when it's no longer
trendy... Decisions, decisions.
