This must have been a different auction...  The one I'm talking about
was bid that high, and had more than 10 bids...

On an unrelated note, I went out and hit some thrift stores and a
couple of flea markets today looking for old video games and Apple
stuff.  This guy at one of the fleas had an old Atari 2600 that he
wouldn't sell for less than $35 because "I can get at least that much
on eBay."  Not Apple related, but really shows how eBay is inflating
more than just prices on the 'net...
