Yes, but E-Bay suggests a price...
I can ask $10,000 for a penny but that doesn't
mean that anyone will
pay it.

When you search its worth sorting the list by "newly listed" then you
can see how long it has been on the site. Sometimes looking at older
versions can also help. Some folks are just hoping some one needs a
particular model for safety compliance and will be a large about to
avoid re-certification.

If it has no cards, what makes it a PDP-11/23 other
than the paint
on the front cover? Dead PSU? Looks like a $900 backplane to me.
And that is making the assumption that the backplane is actually
usable. :-)

Pretty crazy, but I suppose some people are just fishing.
If someone is looking for an complete 11/73 system (2 RL11 drives,
several RL11 packs, etc), I have one in NW Indiana. It all ran fine
when I
got it in the late '90s and has been stored in a controlled environment.
Make me an offer.
