The question for our hobby is whether the high eBay
prices are a fad or a
long-term trend. I'm not sure what the answer is.
In the short-term it is an inflated fad but over time the more relevant
and historical machines will accrue in value respectably. But the price
will be based on commonality. No Commodore 64 will ever be worth more
than $20. It will take several decades for the Sol-20 to truly be worth
$3,500 as a median market value.
