Seal of Approval. Should I post these on A2C? Just wondering what everyone thought. Would it bring any kind of positive awareness to the community or the newbies? Would sellers get excessively ticked off? Would it be fair to post about current auctions or just completed ones?
It's public, so it's fair game. And only the guilty get ticked off. ;-) It would be a real contribution to compile a "current market price" table for a couple of dozen representative items--both as a guide to buyers and to prospective sellers. The number of eBay sales for each item in the last six months and their median price would be a good start, as guides to availability and price. Software items would be more problematic, because of the difficulty of determining what is a "representative" item, but a typical game (not Akalabeth ;-) and a typical utility (Copy II Plus?) might shed some light... -michael AppleCrate II: An Apple II "blade server"!
