Yes, but my $250 quote was indeed for the entire lot. Apples are $20
nowadays and the Pascal stuff was worthless to those guys. In fact, I
was going on the entertainment software bundle alone only and I still
think they paid too much for it. And the shipping won't be trivial
either... But, such is life. We all do what we want to do.
There is a time when you have to stand back, appreciate your collection,
and be happy for what you have. My original philosophy (bid once and
walk away) is probably going to be my mode of operation for a while
because, quite frankly, I've got way too much going on in my life to be
checking ebay twice a day, setting timepieces to match up with PST
within the second, and stressing out over sniping. It's not my living.
I understand that for some people here, it *is* their living, but I'd
rather have piece of mind and a lower stress level (and, most
importantly, more time for other projects).
