Well, in the particular instance you provided, anyway.  I'm not entirely
convinced that most people will sell IIGSs (or any other vintage machine for
that matter) for a mere $3 a pop.

Of course, this is the Voice of Jealousy speaking. [smirks]

Incidentally, what state are you in?  You don't have to tell me if you don't
feel like it.  I ask only because I'm curious as to where you were able to
get your machines at such a giveaway price.  @_@

I'd say what's "best" is if a Free Market is allowed to work on its own.  If
someone wants to charge, say, $300 for a IIGS, let 'em.  Chances are, if you
want a IIGS, (or any other vintage machine) you can find a price that you're
happy with.  It's just a matter of being patient and doing your homework.

Don't get me wrong: I like to see old gear kept in the "affordable" price
range myself.  It's just that everyone has a different definition of what
"affordable" is; that's where a Free Market comes in.


Best,

James Fraser
