    Before checking out the item, I made a guess as to who the seller
was.  I was right.  I'd seen an offering from this seller the other
day and wondered if he was battling with "mcpricebreakers" to see
which of the two could set the most outrageous prices.

    This seems to be some kind of disease spreading among sellers of
Apple II gear.  Another seller affected is "azalta", who's been
selling Microsoft Z-80 clone cards for years.  Recently, he was
selling used and new cards for not-outlandish prices.  Then, suddenly,
he jacked the price of the new cards to around $190.  I even contacted
him to see if the new, much higher price was a typo.  No response.
