Maybe you just don't understand "collecting",
Serious Heath Kit collectors want unbuilt kits.
If you don't, don't bid on it.
A built HW-8 is maybe worth $100 - $150 bucks, maybe.
The interest is in the unbuilt kit.

I wonder if these guys have ever tried to wire up and solder components
that have 50 years of tarnish..Maybe, thay just want to have these kits
to look at.. ,,Maybe, they could just hang a picture on the wall and
look at that instead ,save a bundle of money..Maybe they want to talk
about it,,,like: Hello, I am talking to you on a ricebox, and I have
an" Unbuilt" Heathkit in my closet..This is not funny.." Oldham"
