Are you sure he's a PC recyler? It doesn't say that on his website. It
says "Mac consultant".
I agree that the collection comes nowhere near the $1 million being floated
but I find the tone of these responses pretty negative, The guy seems to
be a collector, who's getting on in years (maybe his health's not too good)
his collection is getting a little too much for him and he wants to pass it
on. He's asked for advice from people on this list so let's be helpful.
My advice to him if he wants to maximise the value of his collection is
make a plan to sell it off on e-bay or other auction sites. Bulk lot sales
often go for a very low price and more often than not they are bought by
dealers who cherry pick for e-bay and scrap most of the lot. Few people
have the space and resources to take it all at once. Even selling it off
bit by bit won't come close to the value suggested though. There is
nothing exceedingly rare in there.

The TAM is the only one I'd like out of that list, maybe the original 128K
too but they're around.
Millions eh. His advisers need to stop smoking.
