A ridiculous price for a standard PDP-11/24 frontpanel.
Buy it now for just only GBP 49,998.99 and there isn't even a picture.

For some reason (best known only to themselves), this vendor has priced
many of their lots at this price. They seem to want people to make an
offer to agree an actual price, but I suspect the ?15-?20 an 11/24 front
panel is worth may fall somewhat short of their aspirations!
If only these prices were realistic, I could finally afford that
Supermarine Spitfire I've always wanted.

Is there something magical that happens at GBP 50K with eBay UK, or is
that price merely a psychological tug on the would-be buyer?

?50 is (I think) the minimum reserve price. Not sure what possesses
people to throw in an additional stray "K" :-)

As someone said of a similar auction a week or two back, looks like
money laundering.
