These are different times though. It is very hard to sell vintage gear
on ebay right now and the auctions all end lower then they did 6 months
ago and way lower then a year ago. Collectibles go in cycles as well
and really thats what this vintage gear is.
Is it just the economy or is the little blip of interest in vintage
computer collecting subsiding ? Who knows. Probably best to just stuff
your prized computers back in the closet for another year or two till
this blows over. Perhaps its the time to think about buying if you are
one of the rare people that have 'extra' cash anymore for things like
hobbies and collecting.

has anyone read the auction and seen the "Buy It
Now" ?
no?
the reserve is normally the same (or close),
buy it now for $5K !
so whoever said $1k-$2k, its not going to go for that.
the guy obviously thinks it's worth a lot more.
I once saw a Sun server (worth at most $1500) go for over $5000
