You betcha.  Show up on my doorstep with it and I'll pay CAD 300.00.
Skip the screen and keyboard (and framebuffer, if you like) and I'll
pay CAD 150.00.

But if I have to pay shipping, subtract that off that figure, which as
Chuck says often ends up going negative.

(Personally, I'd want it because both my VAXen are presently broken and
I'm trying to test an emulator by comparing it against the real thing.
The reason I'm not willing to pay a handsome fee for the real thing is
that I'm also comparatively poor...the two effects kinda balance out.)
