If the time and effort put in to repair it somehow amounts to several

I highly doubt he put in enough work to resell it for several hundred
thousand.
[1] You're just trying to shift the point you are avoiding. What is
"enough work"? Who defines it? What does "enough" mean? Is it
/possible/ to do "enough work" on a single 8-bit computer to justify
such a price? Enough meant "the work put in is reasonably
similar to the price you will
resell it for".
Non sequitur.
There is no possible amount of work that would justify the price.
Therefore, it is not the amount of work. Therefore, your argument is
invalid, because it manifestly was not that element of the deal.
[2] You
don't just list such an auction on eBay, you know. There is
major work involved in professional auctions of such kit. A quick
email to Sotheby's with "hey guys, I have this computer to sell"
doesn't cut it. You need specialist knowledge, expertise, contacts and
things.
Correct. It is absolutely absurd the price that either person sold the
computer for. ;) The lack of expertise shows in the prices.
/Someone's/ lack of expertise. Not theirs.

No, we are debating that the final seller took advantage of the old codger
who he purchased it from.
And about the actual price...We've seen over and over how much Apple Is
sell for. Are those on this list really so...something, I'm not even sure of
what to call it...that they'd assert that they know better what the price
"should be", and that the GOING RATE, or at least its order of magnitude, is
somehow "wrong"?
Insanity. Complete insanity.
