What do you mean, it was bid up to $250?

 

[Big Bird]

That's almost ridiculous. Fifteen people bid on it up to $250.

Or, that is ridiculous. What jacked the price up? The FDHD upgrade kit?

Don't think the FDHD kit would - I have three Mac IIs at home and from memory they all have it? (I will have to check this)

Once again the mysterious 'eBay sucker theory' comes into play

Eleven of the bids were by one person, a veteran with 16 feedback, who alone pushed the bid from USD60 to just under the winning bid by someone else with 215 feedback.

Either could just have wished for a Mac II in fine and close-to-original condition. It was, after all, their money.

Looks like someone put in a ridiculously high bid to make sure they won, but then got shilled by the seller to drive the price up. Another reason not to bid early.

That's weird. I didn't realise a Macintosh II could attract such a fierce bidding war to such a high price.

The last Mac II I saw on eBay UK sold for about £20 or £25 shipped. Thought about bidding on it but I don't have the space.
