 Posted: Fri Apr 03, 2009 7:31 pm Post subject: Who collects NIB processors |
 |
|
I am wanting to see how many people actively collect NOS NIB processors.
as there is several sellers in the US with reasonable quantities of stock (up to 80  ) of early P4s and older processors.
Many have best offers on their listings, plus postage discounts for multiples. All ways to minimise their cost.
I will say i am somewhere between actively and sometimes with collecting boxed processors
Please leave a message if you do also (might be a good list to work out how many would be in a group buy)
The yes, sometimes people i would expect only a third at most would buy

I collect them, but some of the best I had are unlikely to be easy to replace after my big sale last year

they fun to have, part of marketing history plus their value will increase a lot more than just the processor

I don't have any yet, but I would buy a few older (pre-pentium) NIB's if I found some.
The boxes have neat spec-info and graphics, but they do take up much more space than the cute "bugs" they contain.
Let me know if you find a spare C4004 NIB!!  Would that be cool or what?! |

I would love to see your collection of NIB John. One day we all need to make a trip to mecca (John's house).

Yes, the annual pilgrimage to pay hommage to the god of CPUs (and maybe we would each get a SAMPLE bag ) |
