If you look at the related the BBC have reported on this topic two years ago when the
Apple Is started fetching MegaBucks so it is really a rehash of an old story.
However as supply dries up, and the number of machines in lofts can't go up , if there
are the same number of buyers, and they have more money, prices will go up.
Working BBC-B's seem rare. Spetrums less so but as both (Really)only interest UK
collectors I can't seem them ever fetching mega mucks.
The more valuable UK stuff seems to be things like a working NASCOM I , this nice example
fetched ?255.00

I wonder what a working Newbear 7768 or 6809 board would fetch.

Well it may revalue what we each already own.
It may also flush out stuff that has been sitting in a non-collectors house or
store.
Will it increase the number of collectors out there? I not sure it will.
The number of willing buyers out there can't be that many.
