This is a fairly important time. When a dealer gives up his lot it
means that prices go lower, but, at some point in pricing it won't
be worth the effort and a holder might toss everything to a scrapper.
ultimately there won't be much left. Are we there yet?
Yes, with PDP-1's and 8's.

I'd be willing to pay a 10% share for 10% of the lot provided the
right things are in there.

We could start by assigning values to all the items and then letting
shareowners draw off small percentages in round robins until all
the shareowner lots are exhausted. This mainly to prevent any *one*
from getting *all* of the good stuff, and therefore to spread the best
experiences to the most people, while honoring price paid, probably
what Ed was getting at.

I asked the seller if he could translate the part numbers (the only things
currently listed) into product names so as to assist the selection/
decision process. He's looking into it.
it'll all be over in a week anyway, but its worth some effort.
