“Vintagecomputer parts are one of the few collectables that have been rapidlyincreasing in value”
I started collectingvintage computer components in the early 80’s, long before they became mainstream. I appreciated them for theirhistorical significance marking the rapid advancement of technologies. What was once considered scrap or a curiosityis now highly desirable to savvy collectors witnessed by the prices they now realize. Vintage computer parts are one of the fewcollectables that have been rapidly increasing in value, especially ultra-rareitems that now fetch record prices and continue to increase in value.
It is time for me tolet go of these items since I have been storing them for over threedecades. I am starting forget theimportance of some items having to rely on my own “memory” instead ofnotes. I do enjoy researching them onthe internet which was not available at the time I started collectingthem. It is time to reintroduce them tothe market now that they are more widely cherished.
Shipping Costs: Free US Priority Mail in the US. Shippingoverseas will be $36.00 Via USPS Priority Mail. I do combine shipping on multiple items. I ship items within one business day of payment and do not profit fromshipping. I simply pass the costs on.
Thank you very much for looking and if you are bidding, goodluck!
