So does this mean you should hoard everything you have until the price
goes up? I don't have a crystal ball to tell you what is the next item of
value. Who knew that a movie about the Tucker automobile would make a
Tucker one of the most desirable cars to a rare car collector.
Nice post, but not everyone is in to old computers for future potential
investment value. The thought never even occurred to me when I was
acquiring the machines I have, I don't care what their value is or becomes,
and the sight of hoarders doing so to hit upon some jackpot kind sickens my
stomach. I just have a severe aversion to all forms of greed.
