He had quite a few to sell.  Last listing ended yesterday, he may be relisting or just out.

Was asking $500 and lots of people paid it.

That's a really amazing find. I'm actually kind of glad they all sold before I saw that, I'd have been tempted to get one but I already have too many old computers.

Funny to see the computer I used when I first started working listed as "vintage". It seems that the demand for obsolete/vintage computers is not that great, several items on 15% off http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rare-Working-IBM-5170-AT-Computer-Keyboard-in-Original-Box-ships-worldwide-/192130912948

Well they're asking over $1,000, which is top dollar and then some. Demand is there but there but that doesn't mean it's worth *that* much.
