Seems like a lot of money, even if it is a clean yellow one with low
miles.

Just ask $5, slip it in an envelope and mail it. :)
They are not that hard to sell, but I guess most people would have
to repaint a yellow one. Look in the classifieds on miata.net
for typical asking prices and how long they get posted.
Also look on miata.net on the write up on buying a used miata. It
is good. (See also FAQ and garage sections.) A 1992 avoids the
crank shaft issue that makes buying a 90 or 91 a more tricky
exercise.
