It would be funny to think a computer collector is bidding on this with
the intent of selling the CPU to a chip collector to recoup maybe half the
cost, or a chip collector is bidding it up for the 8080 and is planning to
sell the Altair to recoup the cost.
At any rate, like eBay stock, it's over-valued.
