I'd have bought it myself but I'm trying to not double up on part numbers (as hard as it was :P) :

LOL, oh boy, VintageComputerMuseum.

I'm always amazed that they sell anything, between the absolutely silly pricing, atrocious photos and often very lacking descriptions.

They have items listed that have been listed with the same description for 2 to 3 years now. Just keep re-listing and re-listing and re-listing...

It works.

Despite the horrible prices, there are people who pay! That's why the listing sold!

And until they have not been able to sell for years, they won't feel like improving their prices or taking proper photos or stuff like that.
