Can't recall how much I paid for mine, but it was a heck of a lot cheaper than that with no box, so the box and polys must be really valuable.

I do wonder if that price is to stop it selling whilst they're away, but if not they'll have a long wait to sell it I reckon.

Where people get ideas of rarity vs value from is beyond me.

I think people just see an old PCB or Computer and instantly think 'Rare, I must cash in'...

If that were really the case then I'd be rich beyond my wildest dreams ( thinks of the boxes with old PC motherboards and cards in the garage, from 386sx up to Pentiums...)

@JezC

Maybe worth trying then.

Don't forget to add "Rare" and something like "Previously owned by Madonna" and you're done.

@JezC as well as the above, you should also add 'last one' to bump the rarity value even further.
