Geez, I'll bet our own Jim Willing is pretty disappointed that his only sold
for $4213.

What the heck is with that? Two Altairs auctioned simultaneously, with a 3x
price differential.

Guess I'm sitting on a fortune with my 5 Altairs, but I'd never sell them
(and I mean that, whereas Jim used to say he'd never sell his either).

$12100 for the world's flakiest S-100 box:

(and the reserve was still not met, but I bet the guy sells, what do you
think?)

That's a 600% increase from the last batch, and even beats the last Apple
1 sale I know of. I'll bet that the bidders get solicitations for about
100 Altairs in the next few days.
