Agreed. i would pay much less for a stand-alone chip for a collection then a working chip for a restoration. On Fri, Jan 25, 2019 at 10:41 AM Christian Liendo via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:

So I guess the question is in preparation for sale, your opinions on whether to repair it or leave it as-is and let the buyer repair it?
Here is a link to some pics of the CPU < https://1drv.ms/f/s!AoxC-mzikoIghU-LUkQUKebT0Vdm>
In my humble and uneducated opinion.
I think you would make more money repairing it then leaving it as is. Most people I know who buy ceramic 6502s are buying them for early machines who have newer CPUs. I don't find too many people buying early 6502s just as a collectable on their own.
Thats not to say that there are no CPU collectors. I have a small collection. I'm not that active in the CPU scene.
I'm just saying that based on people I have talked to, most are looking for them for an Apple 1, KIM or other build restoration.
