Dog Cow hit the nail on the head.
Really? I totally get someone pricing the thing for as much as they get, but seriously, in the current economic client, even living off mom and dad's money, where are these teenagers getting $500+ dollars to blow on a 128K Macintosh? Shouldn't some of these initially high priced items go unsold (and some do) as most cannot afford them? And not all of them start at $500, some start reasonably priced and cascade to these enormous amounts in the wee seconds of the auction. And if that's the case, where are these teenagers in the community? Aside from Paralel's admission, I'm not necessarily seeing these parentally-wealthy teenagers here (what's the most you've paid for a vintage compact anyway Paralel ... if you don't mind me prying – I've certainly paid some embarrassing amounts considering what these are). I mean how did these teenagers get involved with vintage Macs in the first place if not some online forum? I suppose they could just go out blindly on their own, with no contact with anyone else in the community, but seriously who does that if they want to learn more about something? Wow. Perhaps I am getting old, because this explanation just simply does not sound reasonable ...
