[Coco] CoCo 2

[Edward Plaskur]

I totally understand the collector thing but as I get older I start leaning towards enjoying what you find rather than stressing over its value.

If enjoying means putting it in storage to keep it as is over time then that’s fine but as we all too regularly get reminded, life is very short so I like to use, repair and upgrade as experiencing the product as intended (and further) can never be bought or sold.

I feel grateful we have a community that caters for that.

I'm not sure if it has "value" - but years ago I saw an unassembled Heathkit Hero-1 robot on Ebay sell for an insane amount. My collector instinct would take over, and it'd just be another thing in my closet collecting dust...lol.
