Re: More eBay madness

["Jason Whorton" <nospamjason@microxl.com>]

Naive is a good word.  The people that are buying RAM cards must not know
about the cards from Alltech.  I got a 4 meg NEW a few months ago for less
than what a few people are paying for used on eBay.  Heck, the card I have
can be upgraded to 8 meg (Sirius II).  People are blowing money on cards
like crazy.  I mean, search for user JJMAILMAN.  Someone has actually bid
$170 for a 240MB Focus he has, as well as other crazy prices.  Deep pockets
and two people wanting the same thing equal high prices.

back to searching for stuff on eBay  :-)   ,
