Anyone want to guess what the Xerox Alto will (should) sell for?

If an HP 2100S is really worth USD 10,000 - USD 15,000, I would
happily sell my 2100A for a lot less than that, although with only
half the core memory populated.
USD 5,000 - USD 8,000 also seems a bit much for an HP A900. I'd
happily sell an A900 for a lot less than that. Jesse/Cypress probably would too.
Although you wouldn't get the Strobe Data sticker.
I would not take those Christie's estimates all that seriously. They don't know
much about computers; no reason to believe those numbers have much connection to reality.
