There's another factor here - people like Will and
Paul and Sellam
(probably) don't cater to deep-pocket collectors as their primary
customers.
I will go on record here - yes, I am a dealer, but vintage computer
stuff is only a small part of my sales. If I ran the numbers, I think
it would be somewhere around 5 or 6 percent. Of these, almost all are
to other collectors, most on this list, lurking or not. Some are big,
some are small - it does not matter, as long as I get the money. And
yes, some of the Big Boys are on this list. Some even participate.
Another GASP!
Every so often, I do sell to a business needing a part that I just
happen to have, but that really does not happen very often.
