    In a similar vein, I have noticed a strong following for the "clickback" keyboards from this era. I don't know what it driving that collector's market, only that they have become surprisingly valuable.

    Also, we've had better than modest success selling the 5.25" diskettes. I think the last lot was nearly 40 disks for $50, a nice draw when you consider the Media Mail rate for that amount is about $6. And that was for a lot, to say nothing of the price some specific titles/makes command among Those In The Know.



    The 3.5" disks seem to have some value, too, but there are so many of them which are just old dox and backup disks that we just ship everything to a CA refurbisher who reimburses at Media rates. The value of old PC games is very spotty, especially once you make the CD-ROM crossover.
