Yeah, I would agree with that some of the prices are ridiculous.  I mean this stuff is Vintage, but COME ON, not THAT rare.

Recently, I've been getting a few original games and spare parts (drives, monitors) but I usually wait until they are at reasonable prices.

For software, I usually snag it when I can. On 1 occasion I WAY over-payed for Karateka; and I admit Lode Runner was a tad high as well, but considering I got the original boxes, it makes it a little easier to accept (or so I tell myself :-)

What kills me is the shipping costs.  $50 for a //c, then another $50 to ship it. Ouch.  Wish I had a better idea what "reasonable" US Postal Shipping costs by weight was ... :/

At least I haven't been scammed -- only buying from people who have an outstanding seller rating.

Cheers
