Altair 8800a on EBAY

So stocks don't look like a very good investment for the next 20 years or so. Its hard to predict with Altairs, I know someone who collects erector sets and some of these sell for thousands, and thats for sets that were made in the thousands every year for decades. An Altair is much rarer then this, but who the heck knows what the future value is going to be. Generally, people who make money on collections are people who never give it a thought as they are collecting, it just happens that one day they realize they can retire on the sale of their Barbie collection. steve __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
