Mac people, as I could have guessed, are too smart to pay more than a thing is worth, and there's no point buying used unless you're getting a bargain. I did decline to mail a Maniac Mansion game to a guy in Greece who bid a quarter for it. I asked him if he really wanted to pony up the postage for a quarter game and didn't hear from him again. I also get heartwarming e-mails from a woman in Oregon who bought my Sam and Max Hit the Road game for her two little boys. Her toddlers, she tells me, not only got them out, they've driven all around the United States with Sam and Max at the wheel.
Babies are smart.
If it actually comes, that'll be a deal. I didn't need it or particularly want it, but the price was irresistible, especially when I realized the other person bidding on it was going to get it for even less. Now that I knew the ropes, it was time for the big time. Somehow, although I've lost nearly everything I've ever owned in the course of my life, this thing stuck with me. No one else on eBay was selling one, and there was no category it fit.
