Speaking as someone who has sold a few IMSAIs on Ebay,

How times change... when I started this computer collecting bug in the
early 1990s, people would just give away this stuff. "You actually
want this junk?! Here, have it!" :-)
(But I'm not at all disputing that $2000 is a good bargain now. It is!)
