This price is still comparitively low to what they are fetching in Europe Steve.
The high bidder sold a Super Expert C back in October for rather more than he is
bidding now.

Though when you add on the shipping cost and swingeing tax there would be a loss
in the trade. You can add on $60 to get it to Germany and possibly $100 more
Import Duty.

Though not rare or especially strong Super Experts are very popular, as you
know. The market has lurched upwards. Maybe this will encourage more chess
computers to come out of attics and cupboards and the "Madness" will subside.
