Around 12 years ago I had four Atari Portfolio palmtop computers complete with boxes, manuals and a ton of memory cards plus many accessories. For some really stupid reason I decided that they were a pieces of crap and chucked them (I faintly remember trying to sell them on ebay without success) but not before smashing them up for fun.<\/p>\n

Well I came across that website I made all those years ago and thought I’d check what they are worth now. Well two sold for over \u00a3300 so I really should have kept them as I could have made about a grand out of them. I’ve been clearing out a lot of ‘junk’ recently and it makes me wonder if I should keep it. Who knows what it will be worth in 10 years time?<\/p>\n

That’s probably why people hoard things. But I really should not have destroyed those Atari Portfolios…. Here’s some before and after pictures which were taken on a equally 12 year old crappy digital camera.<\/p>\n
