VIC-1212 Programmers Aid (loose) ended at $102.50

VIC-1213 Vicmon (loose) ended US $51.00

I would assume Vic mon is rarer that the former!

Hmmm... For that kind of money I'd consider parting with my carts...

I just paid $6 for my Programmer's Aid cart... not quite as pretty as that one, but at $96.50 cheaper...

Obviously 2 newbies who got into a biddding war for the Programmer's Aid Cart and Worldlam is infamous on CBM Newsgroup for paying what ever it takes to get what he wants (lately been C64 stuff) and maybe he's on to Vic-20 stuff? If so don't expect to win what he wants and look out for more stupid prices from him if so :shock:

Don't these guys search completed auctions to get a sense of what an item normally goes for???

Evidently not. :)

Kind of makes me think it's time to unload some of the more obscure items I see before me.

Programmer's Aid and VICMON have, in fact become pretty difficult to find over the last 5 years.

Not in Sweden. I think I bought one from Stonan, but I'm not sure what I would use it for*. Still, at least it didn't cost an arm and a leg.

Edit: How stupid of me, I should use it to get a lot of money from someone with more cash than brains.
