The auction would be for 8880's

The plan was to catch a buyer who wants more than 1, as the shipping cost
per unit drops sharply at these sorts of weights:

1 -39.35($)
2 -30.65
3 -27.36
4 -25.43
5 -24.17
6 -23.33
7 -22.73

The problem is setting a starting price (sub $100), as I do not expect it
rise much above that.... as interest appears to have dropped for this set
since DYA, and now BB, sell at sub $100.
