How much would you pay for a PC with 128KB RAM, and no hard disk?

In today's money (inflation adjusted)

"Only had BBCs". The best 8-bit computer of their generation? ONLY had a BBC? You have any idea how lucky we were growing up with those amazing machines in the 80s-90s? I owe my whole career to the BBC, with an honorable mention to the ZX Spectrum I had at home.

Even today, they're still in use.
