Although sometimes crazy things do happen on online auctions,
sometimes things go logically.  Although IIGS boxes are plenty
in some areas, in some parts of the world, they may be rarer.
Also, if the IIGS is decked out in some way, it is going to go for
much more than a bare bones unit.  The presense of a Zip GS
or a TransWarp GS automatically pushes the price into the $K
range.  Units with accelerators and hard drives would be decently
priced at $285.  In fact, they sometimes go for over $300,
depending on the configuration.
