There aren't many deals to be found on eBay
anymore (IMNSHO anyway) for
vintage computer gear. Test equipment is a different story.
Well, it still does happen occasionally. Someone (no idea who) recently got a
really nice BA11-S for only $80 (admittedly, in part because I was confused
about the closing time, and missed that auction :-). Although I guess
"occasionally" is pretty much the same as "not many", so I guess
you're right.
If people are willing to buy lots (i.e. N things in a group), you can also
get good deals. E.g. I know of recent lot that included 4 11/73 CPU cards; it
turned out that although only one worked straight off, the J11 chips on the
other three were all good - and the whole lot (including a bunch of other
boards, all working) was only like $250.
