Re: One word: Classifieds
" You know Robert, just a few months ago when people were bitching
about how unnecessarily expensive some new 1 Gig hard drive from IBM was,
you were right out there telling people that its worth whatever people will
pay for it and IBM was justified in selling it for whatever they felt like.
Well, it works two ways buddy. The fact of the matter is that
computer *is* worth $1200--to someone, even if its not you. And Evan Brown
proved it."
You miss the consistency here. The way I value used stuff is that I compare
the used stuff to what you can buy new. Sure I understand that someone
may pay $1200 for that machine, but I wonder if they would do so if they
knew the comparable new prices available today!
