Now might be a good time to liquidate those early Apple IIs you have lying around...

I remember people begging anyone to take an Apple IIgs with school markings for barely over shipping costs when there was a glut around 10 years ago, these days those machines actually sell. This is a hobby where todays junk is tomorrows treasure. The only problem is 10 years ago there wasn't an army of scrapper looking at every machine as a gold coin (gold hit $1800 but ten years ago it was $350) so all the "worthless" stuff ends up recycled now and not stuffed in an attic. -----Original Message----- From: Geoffrey Oltmans Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2013 10:03 AM To: General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts Subject: Re: Now might be a good time to liquidate those early Apple IIs you have lying around...

In both cases they had asset tracking stickers on the cases from local schools.
