I just did check it out and the auction closed a few hours after 2 days of
being posted. Since that is a non-standard ebay auction time, the seller
must have closed it out ... probably after Pax looked at it and before you
did :)!

I also find that amusing, since I've got 6 that I've paid a total of $20

downpayment on a new car.....or halfway to an Apple I...... I hate it when
people get into the "ebay Zone" and think that a C64 with a 1541 is worth
$300..........You used to be able to pick up some nice pieces for a decent
price, but within the last 6 months or so, people just get absolutely stupid when
they start bidding.

Can you imagine just the fee for inserting this ad, whether a joke or not and whether it
sold or
not?

$2. You pay a percentage only if it actually consumates.
