Sick?  Naw. It's called an "auction." If someone is willing to pay  
that  price and they're happy, more power to 'em.


I agree that it is "sick." My wife identified this sickness, and its  
symptoms, about 30 years ago. She named this affliction, "Phonograph Fever." I  
had a 
virulent case of it for many years. I now enjoy periods of remission, but  
suffer periodic relapses. These relapses often follow my typing in the  word, 
"Edison" on ebay, or reading postings on this list.
 
As far as I know, the only recognized, permanent cures are bankruptcy,  
and/or death.
