I've had several opportunities to pick up IBM card punches and tabulators
over the past couple decades.  If I had bought even just one of them, the
storage, shipping, and crating expensives, not to mention all the effort
in doing those things, would have dwarfed the Ebay price that they're going
for today.

It's new owner is probably a better choice than sending it to the
smelter.  (Which is probably where the ones I passed by went to!)
