yes Rantan seems to have shot his load
yes he is not so activ like the month Jan and Feb, but you can see him everywhere if you look exactly. Perhaps his Safe is full or the bank account empty :wink:

For all what happend is one answer, but you do not know the answer always. In this case i think i know that answer. I also wonder about that phenomenon.

now here we see Rantan as the leading horse in this auction
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... :IT&ih=015

already $470 with more then 3 days to run

the bidders list shows like a who's who of collectors

normally Rantan does not pay this much money for a schachcomputer

i am betting he will lose the race in the closing seconds

As Predicted by your humble Moderator Rantan did not even come close to winning

however even a hardcore collector such as i am stunned at the price this this run of the mill..ho-hum Fidelity EAG 2100 raked in..
$1000 !!??!!
