Well what does the buyer need it for? Most people here want it blinking
lights not collecting dust. In 1975 a candy bar was about 15 cents,
today it is
a $1.00 That is a about a 6:1 price change , so a $60 8008 could be up
to $360 for a fair market price today, how ever many people are use too
-- it is outdated
so carry it away for $1. Myself would not pay more than $100 considering
how easy it is possable to damage it.
Damage it?? Those 10u PMOS devices are far more resiliant than current
parts.
