O YEAH! What a deal!!!

[Jeffrey Armstrong]

While $89.93 is quite an oddball price, I wouldn't say its outrageous. 
This graphics card is for sale in an eBay store, not on an auction, so it 
will just site there until someone buys it.  Its conceivable that there is 
a Rainbow or two left somewhere in some forgotten industrial application 
where replacement is not an option without some extreme costs related to 
it.  I've seen Rainbow parts on sale for much higher, mostly from DEC 
resellers.

I still use a Rainbow, and there was a time when my stock of parts was 
much lower that I may have considered purchasing this card at this price. 
You have to remember that there is some cost to maintaining a stock of 
obscure parts that probably only a handful of people in the world would 
even ever consider purchasing.

If he sells it for that price, though, then I think i'll consider getting 
into the used Rainbow parts business ;-).
