He comes from a >position where he has an Eyeball. since when does that stop a collector form getting a second example? seems to me i remember someone buying a second tasc and paying over $1500 for it you know as well as i do that collectors will want a second for many reasons upgrade an exisiting example possible trade value have another in case one cannot be repaired etc.etc KB didnt bid higher because it wasnt worth much more you wouldnt pay $4500 for a Tasc for the same reason simply isnt worth it So the value an >average collector might put on an Eyeball could be higher than much rarer >machines. well that is true but the guy who won this is no collector tell me Mike what did you pay for your Eyeball? im betting far less then $1700 im betting not even half that i paid $600 plus tax and shipping when it was first released another question.. does the fact that a computer in your collection suddenly increases in value make that computer more interesting to you? suppose prices were nose diving for computers you owned.. would you then become less interested in the hobby? just asking because i am interested in the perspective you are coming from Steve PS i dont think KB would appreciate you posting personal details about his collecting here
