Re: [vcf-midatlantic] Working 6501 Auction
Dave - I completely agree. If you know what you're doing you'll identify things that will be valuable in the future, rather than chase things that are already valuable or what other people say is valuable. Before they're highly valued buy two, keep one for yourself and sell the other one. capitalism. Even smarter ignore what other people say is valuable and find value in what you already have.

Most people don’t understand that Electronics are collectibles.
If it’s a comic book, a baseball card, or some antique everybody understands, so it seems.

A better question might be "why do some people freak out when things are shown to have value".
I just had this conversation yesterday on another mailing list about the Cyclops camera (just the camera head, no boards) that sold for about $2500. "The market has spoken".
In this case, I would posit the main reasons for the high price are historical importance (in multiple contexts) and rarity.
People don't bat an eye when someone drops serious coin on an old car or an old piece of jewelry. Why should technology be any different? It has arguably made a far deeper impact on society than either cars or jewelry. Can you offer any good reasons why its history should be any less sought-after or valued?

My first one flew off my fingers... a modern version for the written word, here here, ie: right here... what this guy said here :) I'm creating language and culture. Flattery in either case, Dave! On 6/5/2022 10:29 PM, Bill Degnan via vcf-midatlantic wrote:
