The pic in the original listing of MS-DOS floppies was subsequently replaced with this pic of the Twiggy drives.

It makes sense - there is a difference in how vintage computer items are perceived and valued between eBay and auction houses - eBay being the hamfest/bazaar approach for parts and tech doohickies while auction houses being the more curated sale of items -the latter comes at a heavy buyers premium and a limited buyer group.
As for the original Christies auction - it would be interesting to see the bid increments and how many interested parties there were.

I was registered for the auction and even had placed a "low" bid few days before the auction end.
Few data points:
- the 79th bid was at $130k, about 1 hour before the auction end.
- the 96th bid was at $420k, few minutes before the end.
- the 103rd winning bid was at $700k.
There is a 26% commission to Christies, which brings the winning bid do $882k + sales tax + shipping. This is insane.

Interesting to know...
Is Christie's like eBay where you only pay some amount over the runner-up's top bid, or is it just an ordinary auction where you pay the price you bid?

Thanks for the data points - interesting that there were that many bids above 130K.
Did the bid increments give an idea of how many different bidders may have been duking it out towards the end?
Anyway, thanks for the info - though I still don't understand the value/appeal considering the limited amount of images provided.
