A little extreme perhaps?

Your right in your view that this becoming a trend across the whole retro scene. The amount of times I see items marked up and classed as rare just so the seller can get away with wanting more money. I saw amiga stuff where people were threatening to dump it for no reaon. Same with snes. Nes C64 ect.

Hmm the mentality of some people on places like ebay must be astounding.

"Oh this retro computing lark looks like it could make us some quick monies. Lets run out to the local car boot sale and see if we can nab us a bargain. If it doesn't sell we will just destroy it! Maybe try and sell the remains of as spare parts."

I blame shows like Bargain Hunt.
