Someone thinks it's worth that much, and some people will pay that much 
for it. Surprisingly, I still see MicroVaxen, and PDP's in use to this 
day (Ford, Chrysler, Boeing), and if those systems die, they need 
working replacements for mission critical systems. Sometimes they can 
upgrade, sometime they can use emulators, but sometimes they need an 
original system and they're willing to pay for it.

Kinda sucks for us hobbyists looking to get some more old stuff.
