The bid history shows 2 people really wanted it. It's an unusual DMM because it's 4-1/2 digits rather than the much more common 3-1/2. I understand the "tulip-fever" frenzy over functional nixie-tube equipment; I bought an HP 5245L counter from a local surplus shop a few years ago for $175. I had no interest in the tubes, and didn't have much need for a frequency counter, but because it's working and has a lot of digits, the wow-factor overwhelmed my sense of reason.
