I once had a copy of the very first byte magazine, personally handed to

The moneyed collector world is a lot different than us people who collect and
like to fix and see things run again.
The reason that item sold for that high a price is because the buyer “could
afford to pay that price”. In other words “because i can”.

Word got around. Most aren’t gonna bid because of price but they’ll watch
prices because a lot of people have the same systems. After this auction,
you’ll see a bunch of stuff on eBay had even more astronomical prices than

they'll go to good homes.

This is one reason that long term loans of historical artifacts are
sometimes used with museums rather than gifts.
Who'll then convert it or embed in pieces into a furniture set to impress
guests, because why not. Sigh.
