Optimistic is an under statement :-)
I shudder to think what the price tag would be if it had a power supply
and
a console:)
At 1490UKP, I'd say they're crazy. Am I correct in assuming the
power supplies are likely to be the most valuable pieces on a
VAX-11/780? Without all the doors, it is even more worthless. I
wonder what condition the card cage & backplane is in, and how many
cards it is missing.

Probably worth about $50 USD as untested spare parts.
Not worth the petrol to drag it home in my opinion.
Now if it was complete and in working condition... I might think it would
have some value.
