I was going through some of the listings on eBay for a 386SX and came across this one:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/ORIGINAL-RARE-IBM-PS … hsAAOSwKzRgWBdz

An empty IBM PS/1 386sx box for $199.00!

Maybe I should start selling paper clips from the 80s for $10 a piece and see if I get any results:)

I'm sure sometimes they are 'tricks' hoping the buyer doesn't notice its an empty box but actually i now think these are gambling on a 'more money than sense' collector seeing it. Hope you put these on watch to see what happens!

Which is really just the seller shooting themselves in the foot when they get the negative feedback and drama war b/c the bidder did not read the description.
