It can happen ... I found a DEUNA for $37 last summer including the
interconnecting cables between the two boards :O
Some of it is just getting lucky, some of it is putting the time in just
browsing the categories, being creative with searches. . Definitely not a
regular thing ... but at least a few times a year still, I feel like I made
out good on eBay.
Best,
Sean

There aren't many deals to be found on eBay
anymore (IMNSHO anyway)
for
vintage computer gear. Test equipment is a
different story.
Well, it still does happen occasionally. Someone (no idea who) recently
got a
really nice BA11-S for only $80 (admittedly, in part because I was confused
about the closing time, and missed that auction :-). Although I guess
"occasionally" is pretty much the same as "not many", so I guess
you're
right.
If people are willing to buy lots (i.e. N things in a group), you can also
get good deals. E.g. I know of recent lot that included 4 11/73 CPU cards;
it
turned out that although only one worked straight off, the J11 chips on the
other three were all good - and the whole lot (including a bunch of other
boards, all working) was only like $250.
