Fellow nerds. A neighbour has an exceptional talent for retrieving retro tech from skips, flea markets, car boot sales, house clearances etc., for resale. But strong as his gut instincts are for what might be worth something to a collector, he's not particularly tech-savvy. He's just vibing it based on nostalgia.
If I were to give him a list of prize items to look out for if they're in good condition, what would you suggest should be on it?
Please share for reach!

@ApostateEnglishman@mastodon.world Old all-in-one Macintosh computers. I found a Mac 128k in the garbage at my old office. It was working, with a keyboard. I ordered a mouse off eBay, and then an HD emulator with all the various versions of System software for it. I tinkered with it for a few weeks, but then it went into storage. I could probably sell it for a couple bucks on eBay, but the nostalgia is worth having a box in the basement once in a while. :D
