It is an interesting batch of sales. If you look at their other listings
there is an Intel iPSC, a MASPAR and what I think is an IBM 5100 listed with the a
strange title "The Mark-8 was an Intel 8008" listed in "antiques."

I, too, am inclined that the seller has a problem with decimals. I think they
are very unfamiliar with eBay, having just registered. The ads are in the
wrong categories. The descriptions are not what would sell a piece of equipment.
Also seller in Japan, listed on the Australian eBay site with shipping in
misquoted US Dollars. I suspect a Newbie or possibly fraudulent (low probability
but worth being very careful)
Does anyone recognize the pictures as being from somewhere else on the WEB.
Many Japanese are collectors so it could be an original collection. The high
valuations lead me to think it might be a collector.
If you search their completed sales they are all collectable baseball cards.

They brought good money too. The Ford Typewriter is also getting good bids at
a price that indicate the decimal places are not misplaced.
I suspect a Japanese collector that is a newbie to eBay, and needs to raise
money.
