Nothing surprises me on eBay any more.

There was an Amiga game called "The Kristal" that went for some obscene 
amount on eBay about a year ago - I can't recall the price but I think is 
was in the hundreds of AUD?!? My friend got excited because he has a 
complete boxed version in very good condition. A quick search today reveals 
one copy going for ~4 GBP with no bids!

I've also seen mad bidding wars on console cartridges with the *identical* 
item in the same condition listed at the same time from other sellers with 
*no* bids.

I've seen the C64 DTV go for $51 with $10 postage - the day after I bought 
mine in a local Target store for $29.95.

I've got a few factory-sealed Amiga games I picked up in a bargain bin for 
AUD$2 many many years ago. If I ever put them on eBay, I'm expecting 
anywhere from $0.50 to $200 each! ;)

All I can say is: "A fool and his money are soon parted".

Regards,
