"Antique" Computer Stuff

SAAER45 · 03-25-2006, 11:56 PM

You know how somethings get more valuable with age and then get labeled antique . As all of you know, Computer stuff automatically goes down

. But my question is, has any computer equipment gone up in value over time. Like a CPU that they only made 20 of or something like that.

Dont think so, but on Ebay rare parts can fetch more money than there worth simply because there are much choice for people looking for specific parts.
