  Are those models all cardboard?  I thought they were
plastic for a lot of
 the models (although honestly I've only known about them for a few years).
 I could have sworn I saw a P1000 or some such set sell for a few hundred or
 low hundred on ebay which was in the months following the several thousand
 dollar one that sold but was some other system (ok the $5000 was a UNIVAC
 model).

 see was what I think was plastic not cardboard.  Still awesome though!
 lol.. I can't see playing with toy cars but I'd still be giddy to have a
 mini vintage server room on my desk.

  sorry to disappoint you Adrian, but I also have a
17 pieces P1000
 cardboard setup. I also have a 2-page (four A4 sides) leaflet that
 describes the system (in Dutch), and a (very) old photograph of
 the system. It looks in perfect shape, no discoloring due to age.
 However, my main interest is my PDP-11 collection, so I am always
 looking for funds to improve my collection ... What would a 17-piece
 cardboard set be worth?  I might want to sell it !
 Season greetings,
