Sometimes those numbers can be the actual original cost.. More commonly they are simply
random amounts that people plug in the forms when the items get processed for turn-in.
the real issue with bidding on this would be the fact that the lot is 5000lbs and 15
triwall pallets

That looks like the kind of keypunch we had at the University of
Delaware
around 1979/1980. I remember using them to duplicate punched cards
just
for the purpose of making confetti :).
The earlier pictures are .029 keypunches which look to be in great
conditions. The next to last picture looks like a .026 keypunch but
seems to have suffered a bit, but still good for spares. If only they
weren't the wrong side of the Atlantic or cost a bit less to ship. Are
they really saying the keypunches only cost them 100 dollars each new
(400 for 4 and 200 for 2)?
