The photos really show why it's such a collectable, why arn't all ebay sellers as descriptive and generous as this guy?

(cue: oh, a sarcasm detector, thats really useful)

Wow, I have an A2000 in the closet. I could really use $5,000.00 ... Hmmmm ....

I guess if I designate it "old school" and a "real collector's item" I can ask rediculous amounts of money for it! ;-)

HAS to be a typo...

If he hadn't used the words 'Old School' and 'Collectable' (and then saying it's ready for upgrades, which kinda makes the previous words redundant), then maybe.

Theres always some dreamers out there though! (in Micro Mart a little while ago there was one person wanting £500 for a Pentium 166 for instance)

Sometimes at work I get asked what the value of redundant stuff is, as they want to buy it - most seem to greatly over-value it!

Dunno... he's also selling a couple comics with a starting bid of $10,000.00

Seems like maybe he put too many 0's? Like, the A2k should be $5 and the comics $10? That sounds a little more realistic!

WOW!!! RARE!!!

What gets me is there is no picture.  I guess he ASSumes everyone is as intelligent as he is.  LOL

It says $50,000 now, and $100,000 for the comics. Someone email him acting interested and ask fo shipping costs. :-)

Too bad ebay doesn't charge more than a certain amount to list or these items would have a hefty listing fee.

It's actually $50,000.00 !

I can only think he meant to type $50.00 ?

Surprise, Surprise... no one bought it.

I am looking for a A3000 if someone has one  would have been nice to have a picture with that too... I figure the a2000 he was selling MUST have been made of 100% pure gold, the midas edition ;-)

Wow, insanity... I hope he mistyped.

Someone email him and tell him you missed the chance to bid and you are interested!  Hahahahaaha

What a freaking idiot.  $50,000.00
