This last weekend was the “Portland Retro Gaming Expo”, it was something of an eye opener as to how prices have gone up. There were some good deals, for example I was tempted by the two Commodore 128D’s and the Atari Stacy one seller had, but as a whole, the prices leaned towards crazy. Thankfully I bought most of my collection of classic computers in the late 90’s. These days if I’m buying anything, it’s usually something modern to extend an old system, or a part I need. I’ll also admit a certain amount of bewilderment on people getting excited to collect something like a Pentium II. Zane
