I flip items all the time, but they are items that very few people want, so I'm providing a service to the few people who need the things that I sell. If anybody needs any vintage vacuum tubes, I have several hundred. I have a Pentium III laptop. Good luck finding these things out in the wild if you're looking for them.

What's the point of the laptop?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Some need an actual old hardware for research, for improving emulators, for testing compatibility, for porting specific software. I would guess it may have more uses, but those are ones I know of. And for display in a museum, too

NASA needed 8086 chips till they retired the shuttle. They were paying good $$$ for the things as well. Dunno if anyone would need those things anymore at this point.

Ahh thanks. I thought he meant it about a singular laptop.

They aren't manufactured, you have to buy them from people second hand.

I think they are specifically talking about housing as that is a basic need.

People don't understand the difference between reselling and scalping.
