(idm) collector greed/stupidity

Am I the only one that thinks this is a bit silly? Auctioning off a
magazine on an idm list that serves largely as a font catalog just becuase
the design company featured designes a lot of album covers?!?! 

I mean, offering hundreds of dollars for a twelve inch is going to far,
but I find this especially crass because Dave is responding to somone's
offer to not only scan in the article for people, but convert it into a
PDF file as well!!!

If the person who originally offered to scan it is still interested, I
offer to put up the files on peachfuzz so those of us who just want to 
read it out of curiosity can do so.
