Interesting, and generally it takes at least two people to bid against
each other, wonder what the deal is with it all.

OK, this get weirder. The bidder has been around since 2003.
Using the bidder's feedback to go back a little further than
the "search by bidder" allows, ryonash bought:
A couple of decwriters and some mac bits for cheap.
A PDP8 with teletype: 110205856805 $3200
A Mac Se: 200183993762 $150 (a little expensive)
A decwriter: 320185941487 $150 (a little expensive)
Another ASR33: 290185013845 $250 (much more reasonable)
If he/she knows that ttys can be had for $250, why the big bids?
He/she now has three ASR33s and three decwriters, what's he/she
doing, building a historical movie set?

A *little* expensive? I bought a trio of SE's for $3 each at a school
liquidation sale. And that was after some idiot started biding competitively
after my initial bid of $1 (there were 50 machines and four bidders)

The last 2 Twiggys I saw on ebah ended up on my Lisa page at Binary
Dinosaurs, one was Adam Goolevich's own and the other was John Woodalls
(mac512k on ebah). Both I think hit the $10k mark...

As side subject, if anyone has a spare parts 33, I'm still looking for the
power supply for the tape reader.
There was a 33 that sold for $49 just a short time ago. So go figure??
There was a Canon Cat that was asked $2000. It had no bids.
I'm not sure what the seller was looking for. The highest sale was
$1800 someplace. I suspect that both high bidders here got there
Cats as shortly after that, one sold for less than 1/2 that price.
It may be that the seller had an outside bid and just wanted to
check to see if someone else really, really, wanted one.
Even though quite rare and has a special historical value, I've
found that such items often need to start at a lower price to develope
interest in the auction. Sometimes this does lead to higher prices
than expected.
