That was a couple of years ago ;)
Over the years, I've noticed (and as would be expected or at least hoped)
that collectors, as we are, have refined our tastes and are valuing higher
the computers that deserve to be valued higher, also as a function of time
passed. So earlier minis like the PDP-8 (of all models, but especially
the earlier or rarer ones) are steadily increasing in value. $3,000 for a
very nice 8/s (as was the one that sold on eBay a short while back) is a
reasonable price.
