Early last year I saw a mislabeled Altair 8800 go for a
"Buy-it-now" price of under $200. I missed that auction by
less than 5 minutes. That same day another 8800 went for
$950 (again, Buy-it-now) which was still about half price at
the time.

Unfortunately, I logged on about 20 minutes too late.
It is a 1960's wang
programmable calculator with a printer, card
reader,
and an external core
memory expansion module. The exact model
isn't listed.
Supposedly all in
working order. The winning price: a low, low
buy-it-now of $25.99.
Doh! That's probably the best deal I've ever seen on
eBay. Oh well, who
has time to go scanning through all the auctions? (hint:
not me ;)
