Thanks Tom. I agree with all you say. What is cool is that some weeks you see some magazines or slides going for HUGE money (relatively speaking, since $100 is like Mount Everest for these two sizes), and some weeks you see similar quality ones going for peanuts (and sometimes this even occurs within a single week).
I can't explain it, but it sure does explain why savvy dealers like Marty Davis and Norm Lazarson are all over these like a cheap suit. They know they can pick up the ones that "slip between the cracks" and put them on eBay and double or triple their money. And get a load of those German programs this week! After weeks watching most of them sell for $1 or $2 or $3, suddenly there are some bidders fighting it out over them for much higher prices!
