cleaning out storage room...

[Relayer]

found a receipt for an 18GB HDD that I paid $230 for in 1999.

I threw away many receipts like it without looking, but I sure spent a lot of money back then on tech stuff compared to now. I also threw away a Virge S3 PCI video card, a generic ISA modem, etc. Is one mans junk still another mans treasure?

Also, I wonder if my "10-4 Goodbuddy" board game from the '70's is worth anything???

I've still got a Virge around as a test card 😛

That's nothing. Remember picking up a 85MB SCSI Wide HD for like $400 back in the early 90s

I paid over $1100 for a 9.1GB Cheetah in 1998. Not too smart in hindsight. 🙂
