An AWE64 Gold for $180.00 plus shipping:

Now I can understand that the SIMMCON has gone up in price since there are no more GOLD units to be had, but come on. The only worth while part of the card is the COAX SPDIF adaptor was not tossed out as junk by the original owner line 99% of all the other owners did. Just a bit in the absurd price range, but not as bad as this next one.
Gravis Ultrasound PnP 1.0 for (wait for it.........................................) $500.00, but at least there are 8 whopping MB's with it. I mean wow!

Just curious - what's valuable about the SPDIF connector? They are very simple and you can easily make your own if you wanted. Is it just about having an original one?

they aren't. its just a 2-pin header to an rca jack.
It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes.
You know, I'd buy this if it were being sold at 1/1000th the price...

For that price, it had better have been to space and back.

New-old-stock of Creative CT4810? Notice that the box has Creative's logo-tape on it.

And a CT5803 which also comes in a box:

Note how the box says that it comes with a "REAL" Creative Labs "QUALITY" ES1373 chip. As apposed to fake and crappy? 🤣
Large collection of various midi/sound parts for $1000. A bit much:

That last one isn't "a bit much." Read the description.

Fun fact: The person behind this listing is a fellow Vogons member. And yeah, there's a lot more to it than just "various midi/sound parts".

I guessed as much, since it includes some of the MIF-IPC-A replicas. But I think it would make more sense to split it up. And I say "various" since it includes anything from floppy disk labels to accessories, to full systems.
I still think it's an impressive ask for such a broad range.

Apparently capacitors are worth $1200 today if you replace them in an old motherboard.
