Has anyone worked on, or thought about working on, a "price guide"
specifically for PDP-11 (or PDP-8, or VAX) hardware? I know of Michael
Nadeu's book for microcomputers (which I keep meaning to buy), but this
is really a different realm of things, as you can configure (for
example) a PDP-11/23 in a whole lot more ways than you could with a
C-64. I've thought "hmm, this would really be handy" a few times
before, but haven't had much time to sit down and work on it.
It'd be nice if I could keep it up to date, and use multiple data
sources (not just past marketplace.vintage.org sales), including eBay
and semi-private sales. Also, a "rarity" quantity of some sort would
be useful, and could just be "very rare" for, say, the preverbial 11/74
(the one that's supposedly 2 CPUs), to "common" for an 11/23.
Thoughts?
