content: I see this all the time of people trying to flog "vintage" computer gear and accessories for idiotic prices. Like new, shrink-wrapped Windows 3.11 diskettes for several hundred dollars or old old PS/2 keyboard cables for $50. Needless to say they just keep getting re-listed.

content: The only way to combat crazy prices on Ebay is to do an EEVblog review on something inane and useless then hype it up to one and all whilst watching the price sky rocket. Oh look, silicone moon dust for cleaning your potentiometers, the must have thing this year. Watch China go into overdrive trying to copy it

content: I always thought people selling new old stuff like the still-wrapped Windows disks are hoping some collector will be willing to pay. Doesn't hurt to try.
