My point exactly. Based on the descriptions here, you have no
idea if the $1,000 IMSAI buyer is the poor, honest, respectful
collector, or the snot-nosed rich kid. You have no idea how
the new owner will treat the gizmo. If you feel personal
attributes should sway the sale, then you'll need to interview
the seller to determine their worthiness, too.

As I see it, price is always determined between buyer and
seller - period.
