I'm sitting here looking at auctions, and all retro parts are going for stupid prices. I mean, a Iomega zip drive just went for 40-50$. The other day a damaged (empty) case from the late 90s when fo over 120$ it want even particularly nice looking. Only good deals I get is when the sellers set the wrong prices for "buy it now".
Maybe people (like me) who are still careful don't want to go thrifting when people are not wearing masks or keep any kind of social distance anymore after taking the vaccine (I'm guessing this is the reason). Maybe this is why the auction sites get so many visitors.
There, enough ranting...
Do you believe in a price drop in fall or has Covid permanently made more of us eager for retro pc parts? My SS7 build is not comfortable in a case from 2009..
