That's still nuts (at least I think it is), but I can understand how the 
MK14 has more of a place in computer history (particularly British) and so 
pushes the price up - same with things like ZX80s, System 1 etc.

An Atom's just "early-ish" and occupies a gap between those early, 
desirable "home" computers and the later commodity machines (BBC B, 
Spectrum, C64 etc.), so one selling for that much - no matter what the 
condition - kind of boggles my brain :-)
