[Coco] More ebay madness

[Neil Morrison]

I see that all the time. People on eBay bidding stuff up to the roof - and 
if you go to Amazon, say, or elsewhere you can buy it for a fraction. I just 
bought a book there for a penny plus $3.99 shipping - eBay is almost always 
more.

And I see my days of picking up pocket computers for peanuts are gone :(
