So how do you enjoy your collection? Display them, play against them, sell them later at a considerable profit?

i never sell chess computers
mostly i play them myself
over the years i have made many posts about the old computers
here is one thread that ran for several months:
http://www.talkchess.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=13220
i do occasionally play them against each other or even participate in online chess computer tournaments
here is a recent one(May 09) i participated in organized by a collector from France
in this Paris tournament i operated a very rare chess computer made by Fidelity Electronics

Re: Large Chess Computer Collection For Sale
The seller is not a very realistic person. I would give him $350.00 and not $35,000.00 USD. Scrap value is probably only $20.00.
