<p>[QUOTE="Mansons2005, post: 865691, member: 121"]I think that the "first" commercially produced line of a technology will garner some collector cache. For example, I recently sold a Sony Walkman without a cassette player (just a radio) for $70 - market was circa $50, but mine had a low serial number so was of more interest. I can see such markets growing (heaven forgive me, but there is a collector on YouTube called Tech Moan or some such who blathers about collectible electronics).</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the items such as you pictured, yeah - I think those items will grow a following faster than not. Think of Coke, Campbells, defunct airlines, etc. I think a lot of the market will be driven by who absorbs whom or which went bust, etc. Not saying that these items will require a loan to finance, but like all niche collectibles, there will be the rare AND desirable pieces................knowing which are both is the sellers quandary..............[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
