Have you seen the other things they listed about

rusty PDP-8/L for $6k? Sad thing is that this company is about 20
miles or less from me. They have some things I'd like, but obviously
put a way higher value on them than I do.
I saw the other items later. I'd say their prices are around 5x what
I might consider reasonable.
They just sold a PDP-11/70 front panel for somewhere between $500 and
$950. At least I hope it was $500 because that how much I offered
them and they ignored it. ;) I've been geeking for one of those for a
while. Just not $950's worth.

The good news is, the rusted BM08 they're selling is now on sale for a
mere $7000. That's less than $1000 per KW! Imagine what you could do
with all that memory. (Assuming the individual cores haven't fused into
a block of ferrous oxide...)
