Many thanks to Sellam those who continue it!
I didn't get an adequate chance to thank Evan at the show last year.

10x??!?

An Imsai 8080 is s'posed to sell for $599 ($931 assembled)
An Apple 1 is s'posed to sell for $666.66
A TRS-80 is s'posed to be $599.95, with monitor and cassette player.
A 5150 is s'posed to be $1281, easily $1565 with base features, and up.
What kind of "capitalist profiteers" would go with what the market 
will bear, and charge more?
