Ricky's site is great but here's the problem I face.

Let's say I'm looking for a RES-1 (and I am). Archie lists this item for sale at a whopping $75. His own book lists the value at $25-$50 (that's a hell of a range). Several folks have offered to sell this chip to me for $40 and Ricky has a nice one listed for $35.

Why don't I jump at Ricky's price?

Two have sold on ebay in the past week for around $15. What do you suppose I think the current value of a RES-1 is?

What is one to do?
