yes i feel exactly the same as you

what really stings is where one of these so-called "collector's" manages to
somehow get their hands on a really rare computer..(and most of the time they do
it in a way far less then  honerable )

only to bide his time and then offer it for sale at a price that only the very
few can pay

i consider these people as less then dirt

whenever one of these low-lifes approach's  me and offer's  me a rare item i
refuse in very harsh language

i will deal only with honorable men and i will walk away from even the most rare
computer if i must

one does not lower their standards for a hobby..



now for business..this is a different matter entirely
