My whining is not so much what others are paying for their
Commodore stuff,  Its just that I can't find *that buyer*.  Recently,
a SCPU128 installed in a flat C128 went for over  $1100 on EBAY.
About 10 years ago, I sold roughly the same item for $300.  At the
time, I was stupid enough to be glad that I got that.  Sombody paid
$60 for my AMIGA 500 with an with mouse, original work bench 1.3
disk, external disk drive, and an AMIGA 1200 baud modem.ten minutes
later somebody sold his A500 with over a hundred games for more thaqn
$150.  How come that guy chose to post his item 10 minutes after I
posted mine?  Our items reduced the price of the other guy's item.

It's NOT FAIR!!!

I NEVER have no FUN!!!
