About a week
ago I put a bid on a Micro PDP-11/23 on ebay. I was top
bidder until the end.
Don't you hate it when that happens?
One thing that I myself forget at eBay is that you can state a maximum
bid and the machine will automagically bid for you in the stated
increments
until the auction either ends or your maximum bid limit is reached.
I am writing this on a computer I got there last year at about half
the going price that way. As eBay has gotten popular it is getting to just watch the auctions and bid yourself. In fact,
I no longer shop
there anymore as I think the prices have gone postal.
Well, despite your astute observation, there *are* some bargains
to be had. I just got an NOS 8" FDD for <$4. YOu just have to know
which items are likely to go 'postal' and stay away. . .
