A bad economy didn't hurt that Apple I board sold for $200K+ a little less
then a year ago. There are people making more money then ever these days,
and they are probably speculating on vintage computers now.

I doubt
this machine will sell for a penny less than than 10k,
and likely go higher.
This one is in somewhat poor condition, and pickup only, so it may go
cheap. Cheap as in still well into the four digits.
Even with local pickup, I wouldn't be surprised by 5 digits, as anyone
that can afford the machine, can afford to arrange local pickup. Though
the seller would probably have been better off waiting till the economy
isn't so iffy, I think that might hurt the final price more than the local
pickup.
