What rare find have you found at yard sales or swapmeets /g/entlemen?

Picked up this old computer for 20 bucks at my local swapmeet and it works.


How much do you /g/uys think, I can sell it for?

maybe $5 for scrap. Why?
>>
>>52094960
With no CP/M disks or other software you could probably get $100 out of it.

Cool

Install Gentoo

Cool, you think some computer hipster would buy it for more?
>>
>>52095071
Without software it's a boat anchor. $150 tops if you can find someone looking for that particular model.

>computer hipster
those guys are too busy paying 500% of market value for low-end 486 "dos gaming PCs" to consider your monochrome z80 business luggable family

Try installing gentoo on it, it would be a fun project.

I don't think it's worth much at all, it's completely useless really.

osbornes were some of the first really affordable portables, and have some historical value in that sense, and they'll still run visicalc or a terminal emulator if you really want to get technical on usefulness

but OP is a faggot if he thinks it's a ticket to getting rich quick, he doesn't even have a particularly special model and will waste more time trying to scalp collectors on ebay than it's worth

Gut it and throw in a rpi. Fill the remaining space with lithium batteries and a huge 2.4ghz antenna.

I got a Tek vision stallion at a local thrift shop, it was 10 dollars

If you can find someone interested in it you might make back your 20 bucks and maybe 100 more on top of that but most people would consider it as good as trash.
