On the brink of bidding...IMSAI

You know, I usually don't bid on anything on eBay unless: (1) it's a low-demand Commodore or Apple item that I want which is (2) less than $20. This time, it's different. I'm intrigued by the IMSAI 8080 listing. It hurts me to think about paying real $$$ for a 20-year-old machine. At $356 (the last bid that I saw today), it's only, what, $150 cheaper than it was when new? It reminds me of the $1500 Altair a few months ago. I don't have one...I want one...I'd give almost anything in my collection for a working one. I just don't want to get screwed by frenzied bidding. If I'm thinking about that kind of $$, I'd much rather see it go to someone that I know. So, if someone on this list would like to save me from myself, let me know.
