It's the last straight 8 I saw listed. https://www.ebay.com/itm/145314563635 I also off your topic have observed a German listing and British listing for Olivetti Programma 101s for 40,000 pounds and 60,000 euro, in the same fantasy range as this listing which is for $18,000. This listing shows currently terminated September 20 due to an error in the listing. No relist by this vendor. He also did something on Sept 2 with is. Thanks jim

Is there specific evidence it sold? All we know is that the listing was pulled. I guess no one here bought it Bill On Thu, Oct 5, 2023 at 3:34 PM Sellam Abraham via cctalk < cctalk@classiccmp.org> wrote: > On Tue, Oct 3, 2023, 9:18 PM jim stephens via cctalk < > cctalk@classiccmp.org> > wrote: > > > > > > > On 10/3/23 21:23, Bill Degnan via cctalk wrote: > > > There was a PDP-8 (rack straight 8 with asr33) that was on ebay that > > > disappeared..anyone know if it was sold?

Found out from the owner, it was sold to someone in Europe. I did not ask for additional details. On Thu, Oct 5, 2023 at 3:45 PM Bill Degnan wrote: > Is there specific evidence it sold?

Notwithstanding I'm in the UK I do have a lot of PDP8/e era boards some of which I'd like to sell to raise funds to buy items I dont have.

The original listing price was $25,000 and was reduced to $18,000 when there we no bids at the original price.
