another item to look for

[lookin-for-treasure]

Hi guys,

I just wanted to share with you a item that you may come across once in a while. This weekend, I bought a sony transcriber for 3 bucks and just sold it for 130. These things are gold.

I can believe it. I have been discovering how much some older electronics can bring. I had a guy give me his old TI PC-100 calculator setup and media from the 70s if I would buy his old Commodore Vic-20 setup and games for $10. Made a lot off the commodore stuff parting it out. Surprised when parting out the TI made more, even when I could get it to power up but not print!

Vintage computers/electronics are extremely popular right now.

Back in the 1980's I was offered an Apple 1 by a friend. Wood Case and all. He wanted $50. Being in College and not a collector of obsolete Technology (no one collected Obsolete Tech), I passed... I kind of regret that now.

OUCH!

Hindsight is 20/20. Odds are that if I had bought it, it would have been tossed years ago for taking up space. Anything that is made to be collectible is not. Things that are made to be used are very collectible.
