Is this guy nuts, or am I undervaluing this Mac?

"Come and get it" is about the only price I'll pay for a PPC Performa. I will pay a few bucks for 68K ones, but that's my limit.
 
*shrug* prices for old computers fall while they become obsolete, reach rock bottom and then start to rise again when(if) they become collectors items or interesting for hardcore retrofans.

Can be seen seen at an even extreme level with Amiga HW, in the early 2000s one could get an fully loaded A4000 with GFX card and 68060 for 150€. Today just that 060 card alone will hit you with 800-1000€.
 
These things are not like wine. They do not appreciate or get better as they age.

Only a collector would pay those prices. A RICH collector who was in a hurry.
 
The 5200/6200 were terrible Macs anyway, you'd have to pay me to collect it!

As a cost cutting measure the motherboard was a modified 68k design so it had the double whammy of a slow bus speed and half address width to the memory.
