Some of these classic things are really collectable. I know its just a box, but a complete box and packagings can be be worth more than some old systems. Its mostly a supply and demand thing. I guess i hang on on to many retro computing usenet groups :) Several people pay hundreds of dollars for these old boxes. Check your attics :)</p> I don’t know if the guy is really a sucker.
