31 bidders. 4 willing to pay over $700. Are these

They're not the least bit rare in my neck of the woods, and I don't see
anything special about that machine to warrant that price. The bill of
sale, which might have been a selling point, doesn't match the equipment
in that PC either.
I can get ahold of the same setup in the same condition within a day for
substantially less money. The systems and parts are out there in
abundance if you look around. These machines are common as dirt, with a
large amount of NOSs parts floating about.
I think this is a case of people with more brains than money.
