I've little doubt that it'll sell, maybe not for the buy-it-now price,
but probably $500+.

People are buying these for museums, not for desks.

Depends on the museum. Most have a small acquisitions budget. But
"small" is relative.

I have the EPO plunger from a 370/155 - most of the front panel may still be under the floor at the university where I used to work. Their budget is always 'challenging', I should tell them to go dig up the front panel if it's still there, it might fund them for the next year... ;-)

Just thinking about museums shelling out big bucks for little pieces of old computers 
 then I stumbled on this with heading about potential museum purchase:
