Well, if it were actually "*PERFECT, NEW, NEVER USED*" and I
wanted/needed it, I'd pay maybe $15 - and that's including shipping!
I don't want to go back to the auction - but are you sure it's in
USDollars and not African Zazafroomonkies. You know, those are like
5000 per dollar.
Remember, it could also be some sort of mistyped number. Maybe this
was his first auction:
-He typed, oh - say, $90 in the bid box (meaning to type $9).
-After realizing what he did, he thought he could revise his bid so he
- again - accidently typed an extra 0 and typed $60.xx.
It could be any number of things. Let's move on to something else,
like the rising costs of LCDs, RAM and other artificially-inflated-cost
computer components.
