folks think ..... a decent-condition Straight-8 with
documents, software
on paper tape, etc. should be worth more than (for example) an Apple 1,
right?
I am not conviced. Everyody has heard of Apple (if only for things like
the Ipod, Iphone, etc). Many fewer people have heard of DEC. I am not
sure rarity is the only factor in determining the price (and desing/build
quality certainly isn't...)
Put it thsi way. From where I am sitting I can see 3 machines which are
a _lot_ rarer than either the Apple on or the straight-8. But I doubt I
could get more than $100 for any of them (This is not an offer to sell
them...).
