Crazy enough, I had an original copy, with documentation of SR-71  Blackbird.  I put it on ebay expecting to get 20, maybe 30 bucks for it.  Ended up going for 109.00.  If he was smart, go low and let the bidding war begin.  Though the 'first video game' comment made me laugh also.

I've got a few manuals from Tandy somewhere... definitely have Dancing Demon... but perhaps not the tapes... maybe I could get $75?!?

Mind you, we may laugh but I've seen some C64 and Amiga software go for this sort of price... in fact there was an Amiga game that went a few years ago for, IIRC, around GBP300. And I happen to have a boxed, near-mint copy of it myself. Naturally, the following week a few more copies appeared on eBay, but didn't fetch more than $5! :)
