That is pretty much what happed when I sold a few cards, the first auctions brought some large bids, then they slacked off, so I'm just holding on to what I have now, every once in a while I come across Apple II stuff from Goodwill; the local manager calls me when she gets something that says Apple on it, about a year ago I got a call, she said she had some really strange box looking Apple, it turned out to be a full operation Apple III; took a bit getting some software to test it, now it is in my collection, I have had a couple of offers from local Apple collectors, but since I don't think I could ever get another one, I'll keep it for a while, people look at it real strange.Michael J.

Sellers love buyers with more money than time. ;-) This behavior is no predictor of what would happen to the same or a similar auction a week earlier or later.Exactly. I saw an old Amiga game go on eBay for some ridiculous price - about $300 IIRC. A friend of mine got all excited because he has a perfect boxed specimen of the same. So he monitored auctions over the next few weeks as they all came out of the wood-work... they went for about $5...Heh, bet it made the original buyer feel pretty stupid too... Regards,
