I'm just curious what old electronic magazines are
worth. I haven't been
able to find them in a price guide -- I have all the PE Altair issues
(including the 680) and would like to know if they are worth anything I
need to worry about insuring. Don't get excited -- I'm not going to
part with them. It's just that I've heard that they're worth some money
and I'd like to know.
I paid $0.50 each for the classic issues I found today, but I've seen
BYTE's first issue go for around $20, I think, via online auction. I'd
expect the Altair issues to be in the same range, but I wouldn't be
surprised to hear they sold for more. I find these mags to be invaluable
references, but I'd prefer to have them all stored and indexed on CD-ROM
than to have the actual mags, myself.
BTW, I just heard from the prof at CSU Stan today that the 90's decade of
BYTEs I left behind will be thrown out next week. If anybody in that
general area wants them, let me know.
