Got to love some sellers on Ebay for doing that - as if the words RARE,
VINTAGE and others are permissions to go crazy on the starting bids. My
thought is that one as a seller should set a low starting price, say one
dollar to start and then have the market work its magic to a level of what
buyers consider a good deal.

Off CoCo Topic I know but related to this post, if in need of TRS-80
disks...

A small donation will go long ways to keep Ira running this outlet.
