yes, i asked myself the same question, but from an expert perspective this doesnt look like proper trolling. maybe he is simply genuinely clueless. wouldnt be anything particularly unbelievable in these parts.

Ha, I guess it was worse when I read it, because I think Blizzard, and I think the accelerator boards specifically, then I was thinking "what do you mean only £100?  Then I guess I also reread it just now and missed the 's after that.  I thought £100 for a Blizzard accelerator is an insanely good price!

I wish someone would come up with a new PPC accelerator board for classics that was only £100-£200, I'm sure many of us would snatch it up in a heart beat.

@eliyahu

Could you please delete this thread because I asked some naive questions before thinking through what I posted. Thanks

@OP

I don't think anything has to be deleted. You had a genuine question. And people have given you answers. So now you have an idea of what people think.

I can think of one other member here who posts very basic opinions and questions that are actually legitimate. And if you didn't know the member you'd swear that he was yanking the chain. But he is not. It's who he is. It's how he expresses himself.

The moderator here is clear - back off with the insults. And I agree.

@thread

And now to answer the original question. I'm with Member Niding on this one. It ALL comes back to supply and demand. Grasp those concepts (as simple as it may seem on the surface) and you understand why anything is priced the way it is.
