Re: cards cost

Well, if people will pay the price, then thats what people will ask for it.
I feel that it is foolish to pay so much for such old equipment, even though
I love my IIgs.  The most expensive part I payed for was a 750Mb focus hard
drive for $93.00.  I got my complete IIgs , 2+Meg of ram, 2 3.5", 2 5.25"
monitor, keyboard, mouse, and System saver for under $50.  I see it on ebay
for over $200.00.

But then again, that is what ebay is all about, frenzy purchases, great for
the seller.
