Let people know about collectors

Around christmas time our Goodwill was full of old computers which were tossed out. They were snapped up by "collectors" as fast as they were put on the shelves. You have to be quick. As with all collectibles there will be those who collect them for their value and those who enjoy them. Look at the video game systems from the same era. They are becoming more popular without any media attention. Media attention IMHO will drive the prices up by calling them "collectible" or quoting ridiculous prices. Look at the prices paid by overseas collectors! I think collecting has reached a "fanatic" stage. I collect quite a few different things. Usually I start before the craze sets in. I buy what I like. In a few years, the prices soar and I wasn't "smart" enough to hoard all I could find and can't afford what I like any more. It's sad but true and it takes a lot of the fun out of the hobby. -- http://www.calpoly.edu/~gmast ______________ NOTICE ___________________ My email will be down from 3/25 to 3/29.
