Curious, asking $30K, or $75K, but can't be bothered to post non-stock photos of the actual item for sale?

Also curious, almost all of their feedback history as a seller is for low amount € EUR transactions with feedback in Italian. Member since: Feb-08-09 in Italy, now selling from Torrance, California?

Wonder what the story is here.

Well, took a look at the older feedbacks, they appears to be legit.
Apparently the seller has quite a long history of vintage computing auctions - sold several uncommon pieces of hardware (from Italy, I suppose, since the price is in EUR).
Btw, one of his current auctions is from Germany - but that doesn't mean much, of course.
I was curious to read the feedback left from the Kenbak seller, but I can't seem to find it.

They should make the shill bidding a little less obvious.
