Very true. This is also the case in much better economic times. Yet the prices are really up there currently during the worst of them. They're having problems in France as well. No one has been immune to the collapse of the US stock Market. Look at the current situation in Greece – France will be helping to bail them out as a member of the EU.
As I said, I completely understand someone trying to get some extra money by selling their Mac collection. Even in good times, profiteers will price them extremely high. But, that wasn't really what I was getting at. Someone is paying these ridiculous amounts. Just because someone wants to sell it for these prices, doesn't mean anybody's gonna take them up on it. So truly, I am stunned that considering the state of the global economy, there are more people willing to pay a premium now, more than when the economy was much healthier.
