Well, I save all my AOL disks since version 1.0. I hope so. ;D
Jonathan_ATC wrote: "stonej" wrote in message oups.com... Don't laugh, something from the early days of AOL probably is already selling on Ebay. Actually, there are 59 AOL CD items listed on eBay and only two of them have bids. $5.00 for one and $0.99 for the other. Funny, I had thought they'd be worth something someday too. I guess this is not "someday" yet. ;o) -- */Jake Wasdin/* |

I'm still waiting for my Churchill Crown, 40 years, to rocket in value.

A handheld Nintendo "game and watch" that I bought for £2 in 1984 was
sold by me on ebay for £634. I was told after the auction had started that it was the only one known with the box and instructions, I had expected to get £10 for it if I was lucky. I still have my Radofin games system from about 1980, with boxes and instructions of course. Billy Bruce Remick wrote: "stonej" wrote in message oups.com...

Considering that the mint will probably make a billion of these things, and - because of roll-hoarding - many will remain uncirculated, it's hard to imagine that bisons will be worth much any time soon. Jeff (I'd probably hoard a roll or two too, though I opened them. Nada. Just a bunch of bag-marked coins. Good for circulation, though :-) It is a shame that the surface of these nickels aren't as rugged as the usual nickel. The coins look like play tokens instead of serious coinage. Anita |

Exactly! Anyone else save their "Pong" or Atari TV computer games, or did you throw them away? Bruce I have a friend that was gung ho for Atari when it first came out and managed to purchase one of the very first ones, through some connection. The serial number of the unit is "00000007." (I don't know how many zeroes there are.) I have never seen a serial number that low for a comsumer product. She died, but her husband probably still has it. I'll ask him about it next time I see him. Ron |

I've put aside a few $2 bills, but nothing spectacular.
A crisp 1976, a crisp 95, etc. I lucked out and got a pack of twenty five $2 bills from 1995, and they were ALL star notes. That one went in the safe too. Other than that though, unless theyre red-seals, I spend them. On 2005-05-17, Bruce Remick wrote: "Paul Anderson" wrote in message ...
