On the brink of bidding...IMSAI

    You know, I usually don't bid on anything on eBay unless: (1) it's a
low-demand Commodore or Apple item that I want which is (2) less than $20.

    This time, it's different. I'm intrigued by the IMSAI 8080 listing. It
hurts me to think about paying real $$$ for a 20-year-old machine. At $356
(the last bid that I saw today), it's only, what, $150 cheaper than it was
when new? It reminds me of the $1500 Altair a few months ago.

    I don't have one...I want one...I'd give almost anything in my
collection for a working one. I just don't want to get screwed by frenzied
bidding. If I'm thinking about that kind of $$, I'd much rather see it go to
someone that I know.

    So, if someone on this list would like to save me from myself, let me
know.
