    Anyone got a shovel?

    I'm glad that collectors are buying them. I remember looking for a Lisa a few years ago, and they were still nearly affordable. They're well out of my price range now though.

    I've got a very tiny collection of vintage computers (Atari, Commodore, Sinclair), which only cost about $100 each. Still kicking myself for giving away my Mac SE many many years ago. My mum used to work in the computer department at a university, at some stage in the early 90s they moved the computer lab and junked all the lovely old Apples, Commodores and Acorns that had been in "storage".

    Mac SEs are currently selling for anywhere between $100-500. There's nothing special about them. I just wish I still had MY Mac :D

    That just shows that we just don't throw old or out modeled gadgets. These items may be worth a fortune in twenty years or more.
