15K and reserve not met? Either that seller is one ultra greedy
bastard, or he did it with the intent to offer it to the highest
bidder without paying the end of auction fees.
$15,000 for a single magazine...That would set me up for a year at
least, considering my modest but comfortable lifestyle. :)
Anyone want a old copy of Home Office Computing? I can autograph it
for you, and will only charge $10,000. >:)

Well, I've been wondering what this guy:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3400821061&categ…
thinks an OSI C1-P with a broken mainboard is worth.
Look at the pics closely, I've encountered a couple
of C1-Ps in this condition, the keyboard at a tilt
like that is a dead give-away. This is the third time
he has listed it, and $255 didn't meet his reserve on
the last go-around.

I noticed that the seller has zero feedback so they must be new to E-bay (or
they've changed their identity). Sounds like a grand formula for a rip-off to me!

You might have also noticed the location was Santa Barbara, California,
a place I am quite familiar with :). There is also someone here in Santa
Barbara that appears to be a scammer as I have heard from a couple of
sources about this "person". If I were to even pay a fraction of what
this auction was going for, I would pick it up in person, AND have it
verified before any cash changed hands.

Hey Joe, you'd better be careful. You never know when one of those
"idiots" will show up on classiccmp claiming to represent the entire old
computer magazine collecting community and trying to rationalize the
price, then bringing your entire character into question for basically
calling it like it is.
I seem to recall a certain chip collector doing this to me in recent times
;)

Sellam,
Well, I guess I could be in worse company! :-)
