I think "crap on a cracker" is fitting expression here. A few hours drive
from me too. Wow. Hope it found a good home.

I search only for "PDP" (not -11) but I

wasn't listed there

Subject: eBay search fail
So someone mentioned this to me:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/222941705847
Now, the crazy thing is that I religously do a search for "PDP-11" for
newly listed items on eBait at least once a day - and this never showed up!
I just did a search for sold "PDP-11" items, and it's not showing up there
either - although a search for sold "PDP-11 parts" turns it up!
Anyone have any idea why it didn't turn up? That is a regular '-', not an
mdash or anything, and those are 1's, not lower-case l's. And it does show
up in the search for "PDP-11 parts". So I can only conclude that somehow
eBait's search function blew out somehow?
Anyway, someone got a total steal: at least _3_ H960's, a TU10, and an
-11/45 (can't tell if there's an FP11) - and who knows what else is hidden!
