It’s gone mad. Hobby is now a fashion with a price tag to match, saw it in video games and pinball, now it’s reached retro computers. No speccy should ever exceed 30 quid, given that many were built. Same with 64s.
It's gone completely off the rails in Sweden, too. You can find people expecting upwards of 4-5 thousand SEK (roughly 340-425 quid) for shitty old Sun blade servers, let alone actual retro pieces.

The worst part of it is, they're inevitably people who have made a boatload off of shady business practices for decades, and so have amassed enough of a bankroll that anytime an interesting lot-based auction comes up, they just buy the whole lot, then resell it for usury.
-
Perhaps it's a bit extreme, but in terms of preserving digital history, these people should be strung up in the streets and their ill-gotten wares redistributed to people who actually give a damn.

Oh back in the day, I had lots of SGI goodies from universities scrapping them - SGI Crimson was my best find.

I still remember the SGI Onyx I had. It was glorious. But I still ended up giving it away rather than trying to resell it when it came time to move. I have to imagine you're sensible enough, too, that you'd have cut a reasonable rate were you to sell it on.
