Ouch!
Another ASR33 on eBay.
30minutes to go and it's already over $700.
One of the $700 losers from the other day is involved is waiting to snipe it
too.
Went for an un-fscking-believable $810....!
Now y'all watch: every ratty half-trashed ASR33 is going to be dug out
of whatever mouldy hole (the which hole it should have been left in!) and
get put on eBay with a $500 minbid and a $750 reserve.
Then, after I_Am_Putz_Boy and all his buddies get finished bankrupting
themselves - there might be a sudden supply of Teletypes in the "Oh, but I
thought it was worth so much more!" category.
So this might not be a Bad Thing, overall.
The $810 Teletype Owner also bought an Apple III for... $166... but of
course it came with SOFTWARE!!! and the original PRINTER!!!!
Swoon.
