Re: Apple II - how much is it worth?

["Sheane and Bonnie Meikle" <action1@telusplanet.net>]

I don't see the words price gouge anywhere in Michael's post nor the word
collectible. He is just curious as to the value of his find. Contrary to the
belief on this list some of us e-bay sellers are actually interested in the
computers we sell. When a school gets rid of all their computers I go pick
them up check them out and resell them for a profit. That's called being an
entrepreneur. If I get $2.00 for an item listed like " Platinum IIe " or
$40.00 by wording it " RARE Enhanced Platinum IIe " you can guess which way
I'll list it.
