At first blush one would think that finding the computer itself is all that is required,however for many collector's this is only the starting point. Some Genuine collector's are concerned with finding a complete package for a particular model this would include.. Original box Original packing materials Original manual Original Pieces and some collector's even go so far as wanting the original Adaptor(power supply) actually some of these auxillary items are very hard to come by and are highly sought after in their own right take for example the CXG 3000 series of computers the computers themselves are not very difficult to find but the ORIGINAL BOXES are almost immpossible to find or the Saitek President manual i have never seen an Original manual..always a copy of a manual i think Saitek sold the computers with a copy only sometimes a collector will buy a second computer just to get the Original box or pieces if they dont already have it this results in what collector's call a "Duplicate list" or Doubles list" a collection of computers that the collector has which are second copies of the same computer ..bought because the collector needed an item(box,manual,pieces,etc)to complete the set.. i for example am always on the prowl for the manual of the Applied Concepts TSB IV La Regence or the original boxes to any of the CXG 3000 series Best Steve
