I agree.  Last month I picked up a complete IBM PC/XT system, and mean 
_complete_.  The system consisted of the IBM PC/XT (5160), the IBM 5152 
printer (with stand), the IBM 5153 CGA color display and the keyboard.
It also included an IBM RS-232 and IBM printer cables.  The kicker was 
that it's all in the original boxes with original packing.  It had DOS 2.0 
on the HD and from the file dates, was last used in 1985.  It's also a 
low serial# machine - It's in the mid 95,000 range.  The machine and 
accessories are in pristine condition as well.  Cost $200.  They also had 
a working 5155 (portable) a few weeks prior to my purchase that was priced 
at $35.
