People will pay what they feel something is worth, or what they think they can get for it. So I'm certainly not going to criticize Mike Richardson for that.
Besides, a lot of you would order stuff like that through the mail and I think it's a safe bet that you would pay at least a hundred for shipping that lot. Given that there are 10 computers in there, and assorted parts, you can think of it as paying $20 per machine plus shipping. Which isn't too bad.
As for the LCDs, yeah I don't know why they would be worth that much. Particularly the really old stuff. So he was probably fibbing. On the other hand, just because I don't see something as being useful doesn't mean that someone else cannot see them as useful.
