Cheapest IMSAI I've seen

Heh,

Thank you to whomever sent the link out to the Salon piece on Ebay. That
was superb.

Becoming an Ebay seller/user should be required for anyone going to
business school for an MBA. Students can get a _much_ better for what a
"free" market is like by spending a couple of semesters using Ebay than
they can with nearly any amount of book learning. Ebay prices come down for
the very simple reason that the "supply" is coming in line with the
"demand." People who want an IMSAI at any cost have theirs, people who
think it would be cool and have some disposable income have theirs too, and
now all that's left is us "cheap skates" who have to balance the cost of an
IMSAI with rent and food and storage. I think the stock market is more of
the same, people have decided that stocks (like IMSAIs) aren't going to
double in value every six months and so being picky and finding a good one
makes all the difference in the world.
