yes I know.
Some people seem to be trying to collect EVERYTHING. I really dont understand it, as the most probable outcome is that instead of having a sensible set of small collections that is complete or nearly complete, they have lots of different things all over the place, or a big mess and an empty wallet. |

Some people seem to think that putting *RARE* in an auction title will actually make it rare 
One seller in the UK sells a lot of processors, all cheap and mostly fairly common (although I did buy some because they filled gaps in some parts of my collection) and ALWAYS puts them down as rare! Strikes me as odd as well, but each to their own As lopng as they have what I want at a price I'm prepared to pay I don't care how they describe it

LOL!!!
You know what - I approached him as a collector - As I assumed he was, and he got the right hump with me - really had a mare with me and told me to go get a new toy or something like that  I was really shocked.
He did annoy me, no wonder he has a load of negatives.
BTW - if you search for 'rare' on Ebay - you crash it

I couldn't just take your word for it, I just had to try it!
It didn't crash eBay, but I got 248 returns under computing, and 95639 under all categories. There's one for the useless facts bucket

You don't even need to speak another language as your primary language - you just need to be as slow as me to miss the joke
