To what do you attribute that price? Ignorance? Greed? Cockeyed
optimism? An unhealthy dose of all three? I'm often stunned when I see
things like this on eBay. Do people actually find buyers willing to
pay these prices?
The local public schools (and probably schools everywhere) have
truckloads of these things stashed away. I've seen pallets of these
things loaded up and ready to go to the recycler.
No, if this thing sells, I suspect that there's some money-laundering
or other hanky-panky going on.
Hmmm, maybe I can get $2500 for the Atari 520ST that I'm about to
list.....
