subject:"\[cctalk\] Re\: Old Silicon Valley poster"

Commodore 64's generally sell for between $75-$200 these days on eBay.
Finding good, working ones (working SID, VIC-II, etc.) with clean cases
that don't have broken edges or inner tabs is getting harder.

The C128D is a much different story.  Those were not produced in nearly the
numbers of the C64.  I only came across one in all my days of collecting
(that used to be in my collection).

Hmm, not really.  My memory was a little off...  it was a C-128D
system from my warehouse that sold a year ago for almost $700.

[cctalk] Re: Old Silicon Valley poster

$700 for a C64?  Egads, you've been watching too much bad cable TV.

Nice payday on the poster.  I going to speculate that it's specific to the
Silicon Valley one because of the recent hype of the TV show.

Radio Shack charged $500 for an SA-400 floppy drive with case and 
power supply.

How quick, does on forget this list, 1970's memory prices, $8K for 4K.
I still think the PDP 11, has the highest mark up on ebay.


Depends on whether your buying or selling.

I have a bunch of old Amiga posters up there now.  I thought they'd

I have a NewTek Digiview digitizer that is the populated circuit board.

I haven't found the episode yet but this is their website with what I
assume is the poster.
https://gspawn.com/products/apple-computer-poster-map-of-silicon-valley-in-1990-price-check.
They are asking $799.00.
In comparison they are also asking $699 for a trs-80 model 3.

On Mon, 12 Dec 2022, Bill Gunshannon via cctalk wrote:

By similar logic, an Apple I should sell for $666.66

That is not a TRS-80 Model 3.
That is a TRS-80 model 4.
Differences include:
[VISIBLE] white/beige instead of gray/grey/"Mercedes Silver"
{VISIBLE] Nameplate between drives says "Radio Shack TRS-80 MODEL 4
MICROCOMPUTER" (you can get that nameplate on eBay for $12)
80x24 display,
revised memory mapping, capable of CP/M; "CP/M Plus" sold at RS.

keyboard differences, including control key
changes on the motherboard with several variations, (gate array, socket
for Z80), rearrangement of connectors, etc.)

Bare machine was, indeed, in that price range (I think that it might have
been $599), but Radio Shack didn't like selling it that way. This one, and
what they usually sold, has two disk drives, and was $1699 (a lot of
money for RAM chips and drives)

Our college administrators [should all be defenestrated] paid the same
price as new model 4's to have Radio Shack upgrade a few dozen model 3's
into model 4's (Our student lab-techs were quite capable of swapping
drives, and had pleaded to have them purchase BARE model 4's (at the same
price), and let the student lab-techs install drives from the model 3's,
or buy more drives, thereby doubling the number of available machines)
There were people WAITING for a turn to use VisiCalc, Electric Pencil, and
Scripsit.

[cctalk] Re: Old Silicon Valley poster

It's an Apple branded Silicon Valley poster, which explains the unbridled
hype. There are many variations of this poster, over many years.

I doubt just any old Silicon Valley poster would be fawned over as this one
has been by the Pawn Stars clowns. Then again, people generally aren't very
discerning in regards to stuff like this, so it's possible that they're
establishing a floor in old computer poster prices.

Get them while they're still cheap, folks.

Ok Ed.

I just skimmed through the Seattle episode and it's not in there either.

In watching these two episodes, I've exceeded my television content
consumption quota for about 2 years.  I'm not doing this anymore.

What an obnoxious show.  It's just Antiques Roadshow but with bad dialogue
and annoying personalities.



An importaant insight.  It is "Antiques Roadshow" with "It's worth THAT 
much??!?"  replaced with "Is that all that it's worth?"


Some of the ducumentary material that used to be aired on the "History" 
channel has now been showing up on their spinoff "Story" channel.
I like "Modern Marvels", except for the cringe-worthy shot in their 
credits where they do extreme abuse/misuse of a "Crescent"/adjustable 
wrench.

[cctalk] Re: Old Silicon Valley poster

Thanks for the tip.

I found the episode ==>
https://play.history.com/shows/pawn-stars-do-america/season-1/episode-4

I watched through the entire insidious thing.  Unfortunately, the Silicon
Valley poster never comes up.

However, there is a Apple ][+ that they buy for $700 (lol) at timemark
1:55, and at 17:21 some jabronis bring in some mini stand-up arcade games
and then they eventually end up in their warehouse full of pinball machines.

What an obnoxious show.  It's just Antiques Roadshow but with bad dialogue
and annoying personalities.

Regardless, if you can remember which episode the poster was in, I'd
still like to watch that.

300 dpi is more than sufficient, since the image size itself should be 
very large.

Again, I wanted the San Francisco episode you mentioned and

Their web site locator didn't specifically let me find which offices

they can do.  

I have an architect client who'd let me use his blueprint scanner/printer,
