I'm sure the same thing happened with Model-A Fords around 1940.
Speaking as
someone who has sold a few IMSAIs on Ebay, here's my
take on it.
$2000 for a known-working IMSAI-8080 with peripherals is a very
good deal.
I sold a machine with a CPU and a defective memory board (noted
that fact
on the auction page) for $1700. With all the goodies you're
tossing in,
it's a steal.
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!)
Absolutely.
