And to think I just lobbed an old Win 7 quad core xeon on the tip the other day

Yeah, but yours wasn't 'retro'...

I have an old Sam Coupe computer....based on ZX Spectrum architecture. It even has a dedicated MIDI connection! I'm lead to believe they are fetching similar sums! I also have a working Acorn Electron.... I keep meaning to cash them in!

Re: Am I missing something or is this a joke......
I've kept my 2004 XP machine going all these years because I can't fit a SCSI card in my main PC (2011 vintage). I've changed the PSU, replaced the hard drive with an SSD, upped the RAM etc. etc.
I sometimes have to power it on with the tip of a screwdriver, but I'm still quite fond of it. Also, it was my introduction to films on DVD, before I got a domestic DVD player, so it provided me a lot of entertainment over t'years. Beautiful plumage, squire!
Can anyone beat 2004 for a working PC?

I've still got my 1998 vintage Pentium 2 studio computer although I'm not sure if it still works. I still have all my old soundcards too including a Turtle Beach Multisound, TB Maui and a Zefiro ZA-2.

They're fetching between £40-£80
Some time ago I sold a Win98 CD. I was about to bin it, but thought, out of curiosity, "I wonder if this is worth anything" I looked on eBay and wow they were selling for prices way about what I expected. I listed the disk at £30 buy it now and it was sold within the day.
But this computer I refer to in my original post - £700+ surely that is way beyond all expectations, would someone really pay that?
