That's possible, but the starting bid on that listing means it has a pretty
stiff listing fee just to be an act of vengance.
However,
it's plain retarded and rude to list them in 'Vintage
Computers'. What at ALL does scrap/salvage have to do with vintage
computers?
Rude, yes. Which makes me think the seller may have placed it there for a
reason. I am not sure - I don't know the guy - but some cheapskate
computer collector could have lowballed this guy, and in retaliation, the
ruined boards appear on Ebay with an unwritten "see what happens?" note
pinned to them. The rule of thumb is to never piss off a scrapper.
