Jason,
Gert's been selling off MOTM modules for several months now.
The first two times he sold batches, he posted them to the mail
lists and they went in seconds (because he priced them very
competitively). I tried to get stuff posted to the mail lists
all the time, but it usually goes in minutes.
After two rounds of it, he got wise and started to put them out
on the 'bay. I actually got lucky the first time and snatched a
Stooge panel from him that way.
His starting prices were reasonable, but some idiot in Germany
(I think) keeps bidding outrageous amounts for many of Gert's
items. I seem to recall MOTM'ized Miniwaves going for more than
US$750, for example. Whoever that dude is, he's got lots of
money and no patience. Some of the other stuff he bought was
damn close to Paul's built/new prices.
If the last two batches of auctions are any indication of what's
to come, Gert will probably get his starting bids. Personally,
I can't fault him for that. I hope when I'm ready to sell off my
system, I can get a premium too (but many years from now).
Greg

forgive me for saying this, but it's a little cheesy to -
- not offer modules to the MOTM community before ebaying, as is customary
- set the initial (!) price of modules at above MOTM built prices
and
- time the sale for the week after kits are discontinued
