Rumor has it that woodelf may have mentioned these words:

So, would you be willing to pay a buck for a candy bar made in '75? I
didn't think so... ;-)

[1] ; not to mention, the candy bars I prefer are about $2.50 each; I'd
much rather eat 1 Lindt bar compared to 2.5 Hershey bars... Life's too
short to drink cheap beer. You can quote me on that one. ;-)

So what's an 8008 chip worth? I've got
one that I don't need. I'll
entertain reasonable offers.
In 1975 a candy bar was about 15 cents, today it
is
a $1.00 That is a about a 6:1 price change , so a $60 8008 could be up
to $360 for a fair market price today, how ever many people are use too --
it is outdated
so carry it away for $1. Myself would not pay more than $100 considering
how easy it is possable to damage it.
