Eagle 1 for $1M

Illegal IBM clone -> Eagle -> Mentioned by LGR in a video -> ??? -> Clearly worth money due to its bold and (un)forgettable history.

It doesn't even work. He has no idea what he has.
 
This one is a CP/M (Z80) machine--the clone was the Eagle PC. Eagle I and II aren't uncommon or particularly rare (the primary difference is that the I has a single floppy drive and the II had two). The guy is dreaming.

Here's the II:

The CP/M Eagles were noted for the "right out of the box" setup (Eagle held contests to see who could get from the packing box to a command prompt the fastest) and their use for running slide shows and so forth (AVL = Audio Visual Laboratories was the maker). The word processor, Spellbinder, was pretty good for a CP/M system.
 
No, that Spirit is nearly the end of the line before bankruptcy. Long after Dennis Barnhart wrapped his new Ferrari around a tree at the bottom of a ravine on the same day as the Eagle IPO. Easy come, easy go, I guess.
