I'm slightly amazed at how some eBay sellers
react. Take this item:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/154404969351
which the seller had listed as a 'PDP-8 PC05'. I sent the person a message
pointing out that it was a PC04 (as shown by the 4 rocker switches, and the
small backplane - PC05's have a larger one to hold more cards).
They sent a nice peply, but didn't alter their listing!
No surprise there.? I
recall a seller selling a 6 GHz SPARC box (or
somesuch ridiculous frequency).? The chip's rev number was 6.? I pointed
this out with the same reply and inaction.

Well, I hope the bider really is a PDP-8 owner who
wants a PC04... :-)
