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

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! ;-)

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!!!

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.
