What can I say?
Thankfully, I didn't pay eBay prices for most of that stuff. I've spent the past 20+ years scouring yard sales, flea markets, swapmeets, thrift stores and the like looking for vintage electronic junk, and have lucked into some amazing stuff over the years for far less than some people are willing to pay for it. Pretty sure the most I've paid for any of those computers was $150, and it wasn't for the KIM-1 (highlight below for the answer).

It was for the IBM 5140 "PC Convertible". The KIM-1 was actually a freebie from a friend, and probably needs a lot of work.
