People can ask what ever they want on ebay, if you want to see what
people are actually paying search completed auctions.
I can ask $10,000 for a penny but that doesn't mean that anyone will pay it.

I went out to see if I could find a current going price for
PDP-11 Pedestal Boxes as I have a couple I would like to
cull from my collection. I came upon this:
DEC PDP 11/23 - BC needs Power Supply Repair, NO cards, Vintage DEC
History
$900.00
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.
