There are two groups of people buying on eBay:
- those who use and enjoy the purchases regularly, as a somewhat nostalgic but valid calculator system. For these people (and I like to include myself here), the Clonix (and the MLDL-2000 in the future) is a godsend, an invaluable addition finally breaking the tiranny of Zeproms and astronomical prices of uncommon equipment
- those who collect the items for collecting's sake, which cause the incredible high prices to occur to begin with, and for whom the Clonix is nothing but a curiosity, not worth much.
Mind you, I'm not passing any value judgements here, everyone's free to do as (s)he wishes, and there's nothing wrong with being a collector - but they sure does screw up the market prices for the rest of us!
Best,
ÁM
