Sure, so do I, and so do many others here. I think the point is that we
(or at least I) don't have 40 or 50 almost indentical machines. OK, it's
reasonable to have multiple instances of the same machine to use for
spares, or to netowrk together, or because there are different models
that look similar, but not 40 or 50 of them (at least not in most
cases...)

Was that guy a scrapper who got in pallets of similar equipment and just
kept them? It seems if you can hold onto something a few years after most
get scrapped they tend to have some value again. I recall when most IIgs
systems were flooding the scrappers you could not give them away, now people
pay for them again. Apple II, II+,IIe have some value these days.
There are people with basements full of C64's, I kind of wonder why they
keep them all (since most seem to be in pieces and non working).
a 2-car detached garage. In the video I saw maybe 40
or 50 apple 2es.

like stuff like this. It give me something to point my wife at and
say,
"see, at least i'm not like that guy!" lol
Uhh. I have single machines bigger than 40-50 Apple ][s. My collection
