I asked him if his price was correct?
His response....
It is, it's one of the rarest software titles around period (not just for VIC), is also neccesary for completeness in one of the most collectible series, the Ultima series. Usually goes from $1800-3500 if anything other than just the cassette, very rarely shows up, last was over a year ago, %1875 I think, cassette and box, no manual.

But if it came with a complete-in-box VIC 20, datasette, RAM expansion, monitor, and all the cabling -- with free shipping -- it won't even get a nybble.
Even with "pride", just start it at $200 with a buy it now at $2500.

Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.

What I really find hillarious is that he has the audasity to charge shipping. You think for a price like that, he would charge no shipping and deliver the thing in person.
Take a look at his auctions now. He is charging $1,700 for some early release of Kings Quest. Totally crazy to pay that much for a game.
