I know, you didn't ask me, but I think you'll be lucky to get even
$1000.-

Conversly, the C=64 I bought 6-7 years ago for $395.- is now worth
between $1150.- to $1500.-
The Amiga1000 I bought when it came out for $1500.- would be worth the
same if I were brain-dead enough to want to sell it.

Please don't bother to reply until someone actually offers you more than
$1000.- for your NeXT 3 years from now.
