Unfortunately, there's little correlation. I routinely spent that or more
on stock certificates, but that doesn't mean I hold them very long.
If someone really wants to preserve a system, would it
be so hard
as to hand-pick someone to get it? Let's say you had an old Terak.
You do a simple web search and see this nice guy in Wisconsin with
a Terak museum web page, and you decide to give it to him instead
of selling it on eBay for $10,000. Problem solved.
I agree. You were the second person I thought of when I found some Terak
bits a while back. (I was the first person I thought of.)
BTW, have you seen my Sol museum?
