Well I have noticed some stuff that I have a bunch of that used to be common
as dirt tend to dry up in a few years when other people are looking for
them. I would think collectors pre ebay (and pre the gold rush of recyclers)
would be buying old rarities for next to no money because there was no
market for the stuff. You know back ages ago when the economy was good and
you had to PAY people to haul that e-waste out for you.
Heh. If you listen to this crowd, PDP-11s and
ASR33s can be found in
any dumpster or on any street corner anytime, and nobody should ever pay
more than a dollar or two for one. ;)
Only in every fifth dumpster!! :-)
