So if you see one expect to pay for it.
I had to outbid other Crommeco collectors for the Beehive. $350.
Dang! That Cromemco 3101 (?) I have sitting in storage is worth that muc=
h?
As we have discussed many times, the prices on ebay are not a
necessarily reliable indicator of value. But yes, I had to pay that
much to win that auction.
If you auction yours, will it command 350? I don't know. I think I'm
about the only person actively *looking* for a beehive terminal. Just
another demonstration of how, even in a bunch of "odd" people, I will
still be "odder" :-).
I've noticed that when a seller on ebay has quantity 4 of the exact
same item, that when they auction them off one at a time, the first
one tends to command a hefty pricetag, then 2nd not so much, the 3rd
less, and so-on. So if you only have 1, and there's sufficient
demand, then the price tends to be a little spikey.
