I do not think this is completely unreasonable. There seem to be lots of
G-15 fans out there (for one, it is one of the tube computers one could
wish for, and possibly even obtain and run.)

sure they're happy with their purchases, especially if money is no
object to them, but its really driving up the price of stuff
unnecessarily.

I know who this is, and he is *not* a list member, last time I checked. (He
seemed perfectly reasonable the few times I exchanged e-mail with him.)
Maybe he is unaware of us, and is trying to save the known universe on his
own.

Did you check out all the other items that this buyer has
bought recently? Looks like lots of cash, lots of techno-lust.
Dozens of items bought per day.
He's only buying on this ID. 728 feedbacks from sellers.
Zero feedbacks from anything he's sold. Am I reading that right?
They're building a museum? Write 'dkdkk' a note.
All sorts of crud in Vintage Computers / Other. Someone's selling
a ten CD, $9.99 set of Altair / S-100 docs? I'm surprised by
the amount of spare core for sale. A Digi-Comp 1. Repro Jacquard cards.
486DX2-80 "very rare." Uh-huh.
