If you aren't willing to pay scrap value, then the item is going to be
considered scrap. #1 (only?) positive to old computer junk becoming valuable is
now folks know it's worth more than scrap.
I doubt that any of the items going to auction at Christie’s is going to be
anything that would sell for scrap value. That isn’t an auction house that
scrap dealers frequent.
It is the stuff not deemed good enough for Christie’s that is at risk of being

treasure, what is going to happen to the pedestrian stuff? You know,
the kind of stuff we dabble in.
