Ouch!
Another ASR33 on eBay.
30minutes to go and it's already over $700.
One of the $700 losers from the other day is involved is waiting to snipe
it too.
This one has a platen roller handle, stand and even manuals, but looks to
be missing the Teletype Logo front piece where the switch is.
The last one went for $740.
I'd like to watch, it's likely to be bloody.

Would like to have one to hear MIKBUG play again, but not that badly.
Anyone have a nice ASR33 they might be willing to swap for VT131, LA100,
PDP11 or MVII?
Or, maybe the microfiche complete source listings for RSTS V6c?
No, not all of them either. :-)
Let me know off list.
Unless you're thinking of putting it on eBay that is. :-)

Went for an un-fscking-believable $810....!
Now y'all watch: every ratty half-trashed ASR33 is going to be dug out
of whatever mouldy hole (the which hole it should have been left in!) and
get put on eBay with a $500 minbid and a $750 reserve.
Then, after I_Am_Putz_Boy and all his buddies get finished bankrupting
themselves - there might be a sudden supply of Teletypes in the "Oh, but I
thought it was worth so much more!" category.
So this might not be a Bad Thing, overall.
The $810 Teletype Owner also bought an Apple III for... $166... but of
course it came with SOFTWARE!!! and the original PRINTER!!!!
Swoon.

In one of the rare instances where I actually appreciate eBay, I once sold
an Apple /// for $540. It was just the computer itself I believe (i.e. no
monitor).
Of course, I held the record for the highest-priced IMSAI 8080 for a while
(I think it was $2,500, or was that $3,000? I can't remember anymore...).
It sure came in handy for funding the VCF that year :)

Actually, upon remembering some more, I am pretty sure it was $3,500.
