IBM 5150 brings $910 on EBAY

I noticed that auction and was shocked myself.

 

I'm showing a nearly identical machine at VCF this weekend (Original PC,
64K MB, DOS 1.0, CP/M-86 1.0 etc.) and didn't think it was worth nearly
that, even to the eBay community.

 

I think the package was what made it desirable including the original
receipts, etc. That and there haven't been that many on eBay lately.

31 bidders. 4 willing to pay over $700. Are these machines in good
condition really that rare?
