Subject: Collector's Corner..On The Mixed Blessing Of High Prices

Author: Steve B

Generally i am against high prices for the old chess computers and indeed i have
given my reasons several times on these pages

however there is a good side to these high prices

sellers ,seeing how high these babies can sell for..then go digging in their
closets ,basement and attics and rush to put the computer on Ebay
of course at rediculous prices but at least they are now available to buyers who
really want them and will use them rather then leaving them buried away in some
musty attic


case in point..

here is a new auction for a Fidelity Elite A/S..

STARTING ! bid price of $600 with a "BUY IT NOW" of $1400!!
no box and not even an original manual(a copy of a french manual)

the seller even says in his auction description that he sees other computers are
selling for high prices
