[78-L] More from the Eb*y Stupid File....

[Taylor Bowie]

I would guess that the typical  motivation for listing these crazy high 
prices has more to do with someone needing attention than it does to any 
actual expectation of selling the things.    For the price of a few bucks, 
they can imagine for a moment that they are a "big player" of some sort.

They might even thrive on the ridicule they receive from those who actually 
know about the material in question.  For some,  any attention is 
appreciated,  even negative.
