If you see dx2-66 or P133 at local flea market, would you have bought couple of them for $0,5 ?

As I'm not extracting gold from cpu, as I know where to find them for free, and as I have already too much of them, no I will not buy them, even at 0,5$

OK.
I do not buy these common CPUs... leaving them for beginner-collectors Smile
BTW it is very difficult question for me... "New born collectors" - are they our own good???
I know some guys started interesting in vintage CPUs. I helped them willingly... But now they visit local flea markets (one hour before me Smile ), make the acquaintance with scrapers, and iven ask me about ebay! Smile
Prices are rising up!
On the other hand... all my collection rise in price too.

The most useless are probably Pentium II Xeons and Slot 1 Pentium II processors. They don't have much gold value, they are bulky (expensive to ship and take a lot of storage space), and they are difficult to clean.

I agree, P!!! and Celerons too.

Motherboards with the cpu you want make it hard too, space killer...
