I bet that a Colecovision/Adam combo in working condition would be worth upwards of five (5) bucks, today.

Actually some 1980s computers are quite valuable, particularly the rare ones. I found two Coleco Adams on eBay which ship to my country (Australia), and one costs AU$130, while a mint condition one has a price of AU$507.53 (and no, I don't plan to buy either. I've been thinking of getting another 1980s computer, but I'd rather get a Dragon 32 or Oric-1).

Actually doesn't surprise me; the 80s nostalgia boom ain't over, yet. My old Colecovision still works; but I need to have somebody put a new power cord on it.

In 1988, my mom bought me a Radio Shack Tandy, but the only thing we could figure out how to do on it was play the installed games! Didn't own a personal computer again until 2001!

I've always wanted to get a Spectrum. I've been emulating it lately. It's hard finding someone on eBay who ships them to Australia.

I've got a Sega SC-3000H. It's more of a games console disguised as a computer, but the games for it are nice in a simple manner.

I had two computers in the '80s but not at the same time.
First was an Atari 520ST and the second was a PC. I guess the PC was the favorite since it had more software and hardware compatibility. My cousins had both the Commodore 64 and Commodore VIC-20 which I thought were alright.
