Right. So far this thread has managed to insult the seller as
unprincipled (unless this thread is really about high school principals,
as the title suggests), and the buyer as a somebody with more money than
knowledge.

Keep in mind that the seller was not a collector, and that $1000 is a lot
less than most people spend on a PC that becomes worthless to them after
about 6 months.

The new market efficiencies that the internet brings to the collecting
game only make that local hunt and kill that much more satisfying. And
what about buyer principles? Next time your neighbor offers to give you a
free IMSAI, do you accept, or do you let them know that they could get
$1000 by offerring it on the net?
