I had lunch Sunday and it was $115, my 91 Mustang needed a new
radiator and that was $530, $1k for something you want isn't
unreasonable.

Its the recipe for money on ebay, old, original, exceptional
condition, a full package, and very well presented. For the last two
or three years I have looked, not real hard, but snooped every
machine i had a chance at, and I have yet to find an original 16-64k
motherboard. Also really nice condition is rare enough in itself. My
best units are in the some rust category. The seller has lots of good
feedback, and my guess is that this system better be just as nice as
claimed or better.

No way would I pay that kind of money, more like $20 or "maybe" as
much as $40 or $50 if it was really that clean.

Still kicking myself about the dozen original keyboards all new in
the box that got snagged out of my stack after an auction. Worst
thing is the dumb swapmeet people who grabbed them likely dumpstered
them once they looked at the connectors. Steal first, examine at
leisure.
