I just saw a large permanent exhibition of model ships, in the basement
of the Art Gallery of Ontario. It was donated by one of Canada's richest
men. Practically all of the ships depicted are sunk or broken up -
likewise Univacs. But the models themselves have very definite value, of
the five-six figure sort. (And there are nearly 200 models in the AGO's
collection...)
I haven't paid close attention to the Univac model on ebay, but
apparently it's 1) contemporary and 2) almost unique (there's a 2nd in
the Smithsonian?). That makes $5K a bit of a lowball, in my opinion.

I am REALLY surprised no one said a word about this.
What the??? Gotta be a scam. Who'd pay $5K for a MODEL???
