I'm all in for this hobby. For years now I've been messing around with emulation, but now I'm thinking about building the 486 computer I dreamed of when I was a little boy.

Is it me or people on eBay are overpricing their stuff?! Like.. "Here's literal garbage, haven't tested it, no guarantees, that'll be 300$. Oh and by the way you're gonna get screwed again with shipping costs." Sigh...

I feel like there's no way to get into the hobby unless you either break the bank or you know someone who's got spares to give away or sell.
