PICS!! Plz...three hundred, eh? Take into consideration that 300 computers back then is like 3 million today:rolleyes:
 
The IBM PC is worth $50-$500 depending on condition. The XT was priced between $5000 and $8000 at the time, and it would probably be worth a bit less than $1000 to the right bidder or collector. You may even be able to get more than that.

edit: scratch that I found one on ebay for $350 and no bids. apparently not that popular afterall. I'd keep it if I were you. Maybe in 50 years you can sell it to a museum :D
