"You started the bidding too high, a common mistake. You could have started it below $10 and let the marketplace decide what it was worth. It was not worth $125."

Evidently. Which was why it went in the trash.

As I pointed out, a single Jaz media, new in wrapper, was ~$100. Not worth $125? Hell, the controller and cable were worth that much.

And no, I would not sell and ship the entire lot if the high bid were $15.

I remember when an Apple II computer new in a box was $3000. I remember when computer games cost ...

An item is only worth what a willing buyer and a willing seller agree it is worth.

Not worth $125?, the controller and cable were worth that much.

Nope, if they were you would have kept or sold them and not thrown them in the trash.

This is my quibble about selling on eBay. In exploring the site for items whose value I know about, most of the current high bids I see look absurdly low. I'm afraid of selling an item, then finding out that the shipping costs exceed what I would get for the item.
