YMEC (Yet More Ebay Craziness) Message #1 Posted by John Garza (3665) on 6 Nov 2002, 2:03 p.m. Like others that post here, I was amazed to see an HP67 MIB going for $1500+. I'll admit, I've been known to pay top dollar for a particular example when it is needed and I wanted to end the hassle of the search & evaluation process. But I have noticed a trend of increasing prices on ebay over the years. 2 years ago I bought a MIB 67 for $450, 4 years ago it was a MIB 65 for $300. So we're looking at..what.. an exponential price curve? I think it may be what are called "late adopters" of ebay. As with other technological trends, this group tends to have more money than brains. This is not necessarily a bad thing (especially as seen from the seller's viewpoint!). -John

Re: YMEC (Yet More Ebay Craziness) Message #3 Posted by Raymond Hellstern on 7 Nov 2002, 6:27 a.m., in response to message #1 by John Garza (3665) About ten or eleven years ago, I bought a *real* MIB 67 with lots of additional stuff for $100, which seemed to be expensive for me those days. However, I eanted it, so I did it. About two years ago, my boss gave me his spare New In Box HP-65 as a present. *That* was really nice. Raymond
