You'd be better off allowing people to order it direct off your own website using PayPal. That way you only have to deal with PayPal's bite of the take, not eBay's as well.

I'll save you the trouble. I'll buy the Mark Twain/ROM4 right here for $10, and you'll only have to ship it to St. Louis. :-)

It is amazing what a misplaced comma, and lack of new paragraph can imply. I'll outbid you with $11, and fly out to pick it up... :)

Heh. It's true with writing too: if you don't use it, you lose it.
I was talking out loud about asking $10 for a 96 minute DVD of my demonstration of the Mark Twain that I gave for a local User Group about 10 or 15 years ago.

Wouldn't it be better to sell some of your other stuff on eBay instead of the video?
The presentation was given at a UG, a public venue -- and it's kinda like a commercial now, for the MT you're selling. <shrug>
I finally got the 96 minute speech/demo about the Mark Twain transfered from VHS to DVD, and watched about half of it so far. And, if I say so myself, I was impressed with how well I did delivering a long public address. I was also impressed with how much more hair I had just 12 years ago ;-)
As stated before, I intend to offer the DVD on eBay, as a Buy It Now, for $10 which will include postage to anywhere in the world. Only thing is...I don't use eBay and was a little intimidated looking at the process of getting started. I think that not everything came though using my Apple II and the lynx web browser, so I'll have to check it out using a more modern computer.
In any case, I just wanted to let you know that the video will be available shortly for anyone who is interested in learning about and seeing an extremely rare Apple II prototype computer.
And again, I think I did a real good job in my talk about explaining it all. Actually, I was kind of proud of myself to be able to stand up in front of 50 people, and to tell an interesting story.
Had I not helped to organize all the Apple II activities at the Apple User Group Convention in 1991 (or was it 1992?), or been a Contributing Editor for inCider/A+, I wouldn't have been able to share all the inside scoop that I did...
So, all in all, I expect most Apple II fanatics will enjoy seeing this video. And, I'm pricing it so that everyone can afford to get a copy, should they so desire.

I have a sealed box in my shop with an Apple ][ prototype motherboard, IIc+ and a Mark Twain motherboard that I got from one of the hardware engineers who used to work at Apple in the development section. Lucky me as he gave all three to me for free. I was going to sell the three to some guy named Steve Metzler (I think that was his name) who ran an A2 ftp site - for $500. Sent it COD and it was returned as he didn't have the COD for the parcel. I still have the sealed parcel but have no interest in selling it now for any amount.
