It's one thing to to start low and let the market do its job, but such a 
high opening bid I'd think would scare away potential bidders. I don't know 
about everyone else, but when I search ebay for a2 stuff, I tend to pass 
over stuff in the 3 digit range. What did this card retail for in 1992, 
anyway?

Heck, maybe I should have stockpiled these superdrive cards when they were 
going for $50... Do you think the same thing will ever happen with 
Imagewriter II's? ;-)
