Is anyone from this list bidding on this.
If so i’ll back out. Just don’t want it to be “recycled “ and i have room for
it.

Sold for $4,900. Looks like a couple of low score bidders got in a
bidding war and really wanted to win.
Nice bit of kit to jumpstart a QBus VAX / PDP collection, but that
price seems just a tad bit too much...
At least I doubt it will be getting recycled anytime soon.
I was watching the auction because I thought I might bid. Silly me. :-) With
15 minutes to go, it was $595. At 10 minutes it was up around $1200. The last
2 minutes were something to watch as the price jumped to $2000, then $2400,
$2700, $3700 and higher. The last 15 seconds saw the price soar through the
$4000's and nearly make it to $5000. By then, I was hoping to see it that
$5000 mark but it fell just short.
