Storage is one reason I have a Palm Pilot collection ;) I have a dozen different models
from many vendors (including one used on Better Call Saul) as well as accessories and all
of it fits in a bankers box.
I hear storage is a problem for CHM.

It's not just the claimed value, which could be correct at a given
moment in time. It's the cost involved in physically storing the
stuff, the time and skill it would take to assess and describe it
all for sale, and then conducting the sale and shipment. It's
a lot of work.

Far easier to acquire something - just one more! - than to dispose of one.
