Collectors dream

Just 1 million seperates you from being the guy who still 1000 years later is known as "That dude who owned a pentium with erroneous stamping". Wooot!

I guess some would consider this an appropriate price. From my perspective it's high.

486 computer. 758 US Dollars. Does not come with anything else other than the machine it self.
758? A joke right? Would be right if it had some good exotic hardware. This one does not even have an AWE64-Gold. Only SB16. And a cheap CF card Solution.

Another one of them trying to Cash in on this "old = must be valuable". Even using picture he is not owning. He must be a cheapo.

I don't know which of these came first, but one is clearly basing their ridiculous price off of the other.

£100 is probably a realistic price for one of these.

Probably not.. the same seller has a 8088 machine listed for EUR 399.99 too, they seem to want an awful lot for most of their stuff.

For the above mentioned million dollar double-stamped pentiums.

It's only $999,999.99 now! Bargain! 🤣

I also spottet this one. Some people indeed think that they should get quite the interrest for storing pieces of hardware like this.

The only good thing about this Prolinea for sale is that it got me to remember two of these Prolinea 4/66 machines I've got in the basement.

Looks like I'm in the money ;-p

just wondering how much will they pay for an empty box

I bought a boxed WAVjammer which ended up not having any card inside. The seller admitted that he didn't check before he put it up for sale. I got a refund though and got to keep the box. 🤣

I think it's funny that the site description has it's specs in fractions of Ghz and GB instead of Mhz and MB.
