I'm glad you can still get it from the thrifts for
under $3, used not new
like this one.

You know, I really should put my copy up on eBay, the shrinkwrap and box
aren't as perfect as that, but I could sure use the cash for some software
upgrades for my Mac!

Im sure the guy was just testing the water, have a few auctions where
reserve is like $5K or something stupid. Probably bid on it himself. Then
when he does another auction (he probably has a case of that software) he
wants to sucker stupid collectors into thinking its rare and buy it for a
few 100 a box.

Actually, original boxed copies of Windows 1.x are fairly rare. At
least they are extremely uncommon (in the box and shrinkwrapped). Unless
someone suddenly uncovers a warehouse full of them (I've heard crazier
things) I'll continue to consider it fairly rare.
