Well shoot! What a deal and it went for 52 bucks no less! e-Bay also had
a H-30 up for bid last week (started at an unbelievably low price) and that
went for something like 16k and now I see they have an H-70 up for bid now
starting like 65k.

This item was something called "Development environment for OS/390",
and the description said "runs under AIX or OS/390". I haven't a clue
what it actually was. Hey - I'd buy OS/390 for $52 myself ;-)

I recognised it - it was an ADCD disk set. As supplied to developers
with P/390s. It's not the first of these to appear on ebay!

It seems that this or another OS/390 ADCD is for sale again on e-bay
by the same seller:

I chatted with the seller and he stated he was going to be able to acquire
more copies (from where he hasn't said). Any idea what the one guy is going
to do with the five copies he bought?

I'm more interested to know how he can legally sell them, and how they could
possibly be used legally by anyone else.

It seems that this item has been revoked for reasons unknown.

I dunno - that auction looks like it was stopped by the seller.
When eBay stops an auction, you get an error saying the auction
item number does not exist.
Unless he got cold feet and cancelled it....

I got an e-mail back from him after I asked him why he pulled it and was
told that he was approached by IBM, was told the facts, and hence he pulled
it.
