It took three years for someone to agree with me on the price. :)
Even then I had a number of people try to scam me, but the magic word
"COD" tended to ward those off quickly. Though one guy might of
actually had one or access to one because he knew what the back of the
box said.

This is the conundrum of high prices and eBay. A high price on eBay
tends to draw out other copies for sale (thus generally driving done
the prices). A rare $20 item just doesn't get people excited enough to
sell their old junk, while a rare $500 item will flush a few more out
over thime.
