The Workslate was first launched in the American Express Christmas catalog, and was sold as a high-tech novelty product. But no one was interested in buying a limited spredsheet machine for $895. Convergent Technology planned to sell 200,000 units within a year, but only 5,000 systems were sold in the U.S.A plus some hundreds in Europe. The product was discontinued in July 1984, and the company lost about $15 million.
now someone is trying to fix their lost ;)
surely it's ok to bid lower where they say "make offer" and that's what they actually expect.
cheers,

So, if I make an offer of $5, will ebay ban me from all future bidding?
I'm fairly sure there is no rule against ridiculously low (but in this case fair) offers like that. The seller simply gets to accept or reject each offer.
