I am beginning to think he is a real seller, misguided
about the price.
That's what I always thought. People think that just because
something is old and rare and was once expensive, that it must still
be worth a lot of money.
I used to see this all the time when people brought in their beat-up
comic books to the comic store where I worked. Them: "But it's old!
It's from the 60s!" Me: "But it's beat to hell and not worth that much
in mint condition." At least then I could refer them to the
Overstreet price guide to back up my opinion. There isn't enouhg of a
market for vintage computers to have a reliable price guide. There's
that one vintage computer book that has prices in it, but they're all
the prices of "here at MIT we are tripping over VT100s in the gutter
on every corner" variety.
