Does anyone have a clue why this auction is climbing high?

Is there something rare in here that I am missing?

This is my auction, and I have no clue why, but I'm sure not complaining.

Re: Auction Price - Why?
My goodness! Somebody really wants that VIC-20! I was biddng on a C64 in September and we were at about $95 - then it shot up to $3250! I messaged the seller and told him someone was screwing with him - and they killed of the two accounts that jacked it up so high. I ended up winning it at the $95 and use it all the time.
Good luck with your auction, I was the guy that bought those seven or so C64 cartridges from you on eBay a month or so ago. They work fine (at least the three I have played do)

Someone who has excess money might just want that bundle for a gift. Hope it works out!

It seems to have been sold at 273.50USD.. which is still less than what my Vic-20 costed in early 1983 (at least here in Norway).

Somebody wanted one of those tapes... was likely a rare one in there.

Re: Auction Price - Why?
None of the games scream rare to me, at least rare and valuable, but then, we can't see half of them properly heh...

Hopefully it won't drive the price of everything else up through the roof. "well look at how much this guy sold it for"

I'm hoping the opposite, I got to unload some, 18 is too many!
