[Coco] 6809 wafer on eBay

[tonym]

I was going to say... There's been wafers selling on eBay for a decade or more already!
This is nothing new there, and as for the tech, it's passing so fast, a 5-10yo silicon wafer is nothing but a curiosity nowadays!

I wouldn't bet on it.  There are 157 auctions for 'silicon wafers'.

There are 198 sold listings.  Two of them for an AMD 486 wafer.  That's a
lot more recent than a 6809.

And here's a 68000 one.  Sold for $150:
