Example: I buy mobos at $2.25-$3.25 the sliding scale allows me grading room depending on year and if the board has been cleaned already.



Computers: I go by year. 1998 onwards-$2-$3
1990-1998 $3-$4
1980-1990 $4
1962-1979 $5-$6

I took computer programmimg in 1973 at a local area VO-Tech school. We used key punch and the "computer" wrapped around the perimeter of the room was about 40ft long. If you can get one of those for $5-6 that may be a heckuva deal. Of course then there's the transportation cost..... I remember loading cards in the computer just before class ended. The next class would come in and the poor guy who was first to use the computer would get a printout similar to this "Your program is #*%^ed!! I refuse to print your input data...."
