Don't take it personally guys (hell I had a very good deal with an
American guy recently), but I notice that the "auction craze" is mainly
an American thing, i.e. for Commodore or Apple stuff. Most of the sales
for Acorns, for instance, are made the "old fashioned way", even though
there are quite a few auction sites located in Europe. I really don't
know why; does anyone here have any opinion on that?
