This is why I have to go through my house and write down the value of geeky items that I have. For example, I have 8008 CPU’s (one of each type, even the East German copy) in a picture frame that would probably go for pretty good money on eBay. I have a shadow box of the first CPU’s made by Intel from the 4004 to the Pentium Pro (first “edition” of each). I have copies of Byte #1 and the user manual to the original PDP-8 (not the “E”, “S”, or “I”, the straight 8). Then, there is the equipment and loose chips. All of this would probably go in the dumpster if I kick it unexpectedly.
