Would that be the antique or hobbyist computer market? Like old
obsolete cars *some* certainly do increase in value.

And that would be the parts market? To carry the analogy forward, one
of my favorite places as a kid was the auto junkyard. They made a
fortune on junk parts.

Yes I agree there are *some* that increase in value. But I think that
if you visit the recycle yard in most any town and see the piles of
old computers you will agree that *most*, like 99.99999% drop in
value... ;)

Ok, I'll sell you my 2G Surf with the SLC SSD for a measly $1K
(postpaid). Think of the profit you will make in say 30 years??
