More eBay looniness...

I guess, I take back my comment,

Amiga "Chrono Quest" by Psygnosis sold for $62,
Amiga "Amigaterm" by Commodore-Amiga for $83,
Amiga "Trinity" by Infocom $68.

That ebay seller sits on gold?

Are these title rare?

It's a scam.  I've already reported the shill bidding to eBay.  (See the other thread.)

Does this auction make sense?

whats funny in the amiga community is many people feel the need to dictate to others what they should sell their Amiga stuff for, or even more extreme, if they should sell it. I've never had that audacity to tell another man what to do with his own possesions.. its not my business.

Agreed -- though this thread is mostly about unusual auction activity.

Get on Amibay.com if you're not there already.  

Also, let's keep in mind that we're dealing with discretionary items, not food & water.  Your life is not seriously affected if you can't afford that cool vintage Amiga gear!

I found the Amibay community more detestable than the ebay community, tbh.

Tried doing business (buying) once there, got turbonerded by a bunch of aggro dickheads.  Won't go back.

Not sure what the hell you mean.  They have a set of rules to make the place fair for everyone.  It's not very hard to follow.  Many people (like me) don't read all the rules and are given a warning when a simple rule is broken.  So the only problem I had there was self-imposed by my ignorance.  Overall, it has been an excellent experience for me.  Two thumbs up!  I have not had a bad transaction there yet.  I cannot say the same for eBay.
