The seller Wild16 lives just down the road from me. I've bought a couple of items off him via Trade Me in the past. I'm sure he'll be happy with the price.
Give that we're all collectors it's no surprise that we're going to bid against each other from time to time. Did the monitor go for a ridiculous price? Na, I don't think so. Most of us are collectors rather than investors so the "worth" to the individual is going vary. I've got quite a few Apple IIe models now. If I didn't have a colour screen already I would have wanted one. They don't come up that often. I probably would have put in an autobid of $95 and hope no one would trump me. As it was, I would have been well trumped
However if I had deep pockets (which I haven't) and was an Apple enthusiast who REALLY wanted one. Well, I'd probably just go for it.
