He sold 29 of these CPUs and no buyer complained.

The guy has a 100% score so even if it's fake I don't think it's intentional. He has nothing to gain but a lot to lose.

Thanks man, appreciate it!

Is he selling more of these?

Are these cards worth something? A friend of mine plans to offload like 30 of them for $20, they have a proprietary dual DVI port but not much else, simple noiseless office video cards with multiple display support (up to 10 on a single machine according to the guy).

What may happen is prices for 90's hardware drops in the future with younger generations not interested reducing demand. Good point, future generations probably won't bother with ancient tech that runs DOS games because it doesn't really do anything for them. The children and grandchildren (our …

You have to consider supply, not just demand. True, new systems are also pretty stable and reliable, the biggest problem was the capacitor plague that is fixable most of the time and rarely caused permanent damage. Old boards with the NiCd battery corrosion won't ever be the same and properly …

Some pretty good points here, thanks. Most of these newer systems were produced in record numbers. (does anybody know a good source for the number of sold Intel CPUs/year?) Personal computers were ridiculously expensive back in the 80's and 90's so not many people could afford them. Average computer …

It's quite hard to find 286-386-486 systems that are in decent shape (so no battery corrosion and doesn't look like it's been dragged through the streets to the recycling center) and I don't have to break the bank to get one. I pretty much gave up on these systems because there is too little gain …
