Interesting point. This auction could have been staged
simply to raise
the perceived value of the Altair 8800 just before someone dumps 25 of
them on the market.
Or someone may just be that stupid.
Two theories. Take your pick.
What's the old saying?
"Never attribute to malice what should be attributed to stupidity?"
(Or something like that)
