Just curious if the person who owns this eBay store is

regular? And, more the the point, do they actually get anyone to
pay nearly $500 for an AT&T PC7300?
I sold one for $300 last summer.
Remember, this whole notion of
classic computers never being worth any actual money is pretty
much restricted to this mailing list.
I know they're worth money, but where do you find buyers? I'd like
to offload some of my nice semi-rare stuff (XT-286, etc.) but hell
if I can find a buyer. How did you sell yours (ebay?) and how did
the buyer find you?
I was selling something unrelated on eBay, and the buyer asked me
if I had any other interesting stuff available. He bought a few
things from me. It was a bit of a fluke, but that does happen every
so often.
I sold one of my Crays on eBay recently (I'll be delivering it to
Wisconsin this week), and in another similar situation, the buyer of
that system is also getting a PDP-8/e from me.
