   They *can* fetch a decent price, depending on condition and included   
   peripherals, and how badly the (probably nostalgic) buyer wants one.   
   They were a dime a dozen not too long ago, which is how I ended up with   
   these two. (I'm Conceited Jerk, btw, on a different server).   
      
   In my case, I'd planned on towerizing one of the 500s, which would free up   
   the case and keyboard, so no waste!

   Heh, retrocomputing is pretty much *all* I do.  I don't think I own a   
   computer that was built during this millenium, apart from my Raspberry   
   Pi and an old Tadpole Voyager server...
