Price is only relevant when I buy them.

The chess computers are with me because they interest me and have done so since
getting the MGS Sargon 2.5 in 1980. That is when I caught the bug and have
always had some around the house the last 25 years. I have gone to plenty of
enjoyable effort to build up my collection. I have not the slightest intention
of breaking it up whatever the market does. Most of the duplicates will go
because of pressure on space and the feeling I have that you should not cling on
to machines which will be of interest and use to someone else.

There again you have asked me this question before. You know the perspective I
am coming from. Just a keen chess computer collector trying to enjoy one of his
hobbies.
