I only ever saw one, also.

Hey, back in the late 60's, you could buy an outdated Ferrari racing car, or
a retired Cobra Daytona, for a couple of thousand, US$. Those cars now sell
for tens of millions...

The people who passed on those Ferraris, Daytonas, etc now have the same
reaction!

I wonder if PDP-11's will ever get anything like that stupid? Probably not
(although one never knows, q.v. the Ferraris and Daytonas); although I reckon
they will be more noteworthy to later collectors (i.e. who didn't use them
themselves) than most other old machines, because the PDP-11 was the machine
that really set Unix on the road. (Which is not why _I'm_ big on them,
mind...)
