So what's an 8008 chip worth? I've got one that I don't need. I'll
entertain reasonable offers.
Cheers,

I don't know what it's worth, but you could always use it to build

Hmmm, obviously I've touched on a humorous topic.
Okay, a tie tac it is.
Anyone want any old external modems? I've got three USR Couriers;
different models: One's the HST Dual Standard, another is the V.34 Dual
Standard and the last is the V.Evertying. The V.34 has had a software
upgrade, so it operates identically to the V.Everything. Let me know.

Well what does the buyer need it for? Most people here want it blinking
lights not collecting dust. In 1975 a candy bar was about 15 cents,
today it is
a $1.00 That is a about a 6:1 price change , so a $60 8008 could be up
to $360 for a fair market price today, how ever many people are use too
-- it is outdated
so carry it away for $1. Myself would not pay more than $100 considering
how easy it is possable to damage it.

Rumor has it that woodelf may have mentioned these words:

So, would you be willing to pay a buck for a candy bar made in '75? I
didn't think so... ;-)

I am not willing to spend $.05 on Candy Bar. Wait that was 1966 prices. :)

I like to value for my food $1.00 , but somedays like today I cheat and
buy greasy food!
I went to order "Operating Systems Design and Implementation" Second
Edition from the local
bookstore and found it out of print. (Minix 2) so now I am having a
greasy pizza.

I see one book dealer has the second edition new with sealed CD-ROM for $15.21.
I can't imagine why ANYBODY would buy books new without first going to abe.com.
I think I'm about to order one of those $1 first editions, I only have the second.

I think the 8008 logic would fit into a larger CPLD today. So even if
one would like to have some hardware
for the blinkinlights, it could be affordable to reengineer it in the
same style like the 6120 or 1802 systems
at sparetimegizmos. This is closest to the look and feel of the real
thing, in comparison to some simulator software
on a PC. IMHO, you only need a real 8008 for displaying an original
board into a show case, or for real nostalgic
feelings; but then, the whole enterprise is not complete without
"original" TTLs timestamped XX75 and original
power supplies, etc.

Sell it on ebay :)
Expect between $100 to $150 for it on a good week.
Then again a 56 chip collection/set including a 4004 and an 8008 went for $99 in a bad
week.
There is a BIN for around $175 IIRC ...

If you look on eBay you'll discover people seem to be willing to pay quite a bit for
them.
Nearly three figures in some instances.
