No, I'm not talking about Ebay prices.

Instead I thought you might be interested
in seeing an original Altair Price list
from July,1976. Here's the link to a jpeg of it...

We have heard that the 680 was a failure
because the 16k memory card for it cost more than
the computer. Take a look at this list and you
will see it in black and white. The 680 computer kit
cost $466 ($625 assembled). The 16K memory card cost
a staggering $685 as a kit and $865 assembled. That
is a whopping $43 per 1k of memory.
