I sold my 2720 and 2 4700 cabinets full of modules ( I had at least one
of everything ), for $250.00 back in '78. Wish they had Ebay then. I
could have been rich :) Some folks (bidders) just get caught up in the
feeding frenzy, some are just stupid. At any rate the seller can't be
blamed for making a buck.
I personally would like to find a Gnome for cheap.
