Truly amazing what some people will pay for these artefacts.

There're so few of them. If I had a million bucks burning a hole in my pocket, I would in a heart beat. I'd then lend it to the Computer History Museum (though, I think they already have one.)

I had a spare $500,000, but I was outbid. Better luck next time.
No, just kidding. Must be nice to have that kind of money to spend.

Chances are people with that kind of money are buying machines like these as investments. Unlike paper money their value can only go up as there's a finite amount of working examples left.
