Yes and no.

On the one hand, telling a man how to do his business...that's stupid and insulting.

On the other, though, it got so bad with some stuff that I think Individual Computers had a problem with people buying up their gear as quickly as it was produced and then flipped it for painfully unfair prices.

(Note on that last one I could be very wrong, so if someone associated with Jens wants to put the smackdown on it, I won't take umbrage.)

I mean, ultimately, the market will pay what the market can bear.  Amigas and parts for it were never, even when in full swing C= production, ever cheap.  Shit, I remember flipping through the (few remaining) stateside magazines looking for commodity PC parts to use in my A1200 (a stick of RAM and a laptop HD) and seeing prices that were 20% higher than Computer Shopper! :P

One guy, buys something, figures out he doesn't need it, turns around and sells it and makes a tidy profit...hey, that's fine.  The spaz out that those people at Amigabay or whatever have because of lone incidents like that are just silly.
Back away from the EU-SSR!
