Because the 'keyboard keids' will gleefully pay $75 for it. The market 
would bear a considerably higher price and it appears Cindy is already 
discounting it - one likes to think in the hopes a person who would 
connect it to an Osborne would purchase it. At home we'd call this 'mates 
rates'.

While I respect your view point, and I similarly get flustered at the 
ridiculous prices that our hobby now commands due to "retro is cool", I 
know you surely also appreciate that a business is a business - and 
Electronics Plus is a business.

(I have no affiliation with EP personally, nor in fact have I ever 
personally purchased from them, but am just a soul frustrated by ever 
growing prices and appreciate a more reasonable price... for various 
values of 'reasonable').
