Some of that vintage hardware is starting to become valuable. As a collector’s item, my thirty-old Apple II is now valued near the original purchase price. (Of course, the value of the dollar ain’t what it used to be.)
More. I have two Apple II's (and a box full of broken motherboards). I recently saw an eBay auction where an early Apple II went for well over $2000. Shocking. I haven't fired up mine for quite a while now. I still have the original box and packing, red book, etc. from January 1978. Of course, I'll never sell mine, too sentimental.
