I was down at my the shop just looking about when I saw my boss, said he had the funniest story to tell me.
So there was a guy, he had a Pentium 2 system in his basement that he often used for checking e-mail etc blah blah. Nothing critical on it. So anyways somehow his basement got flooded (How I don't know) either way the P2 was on when it flooded so needless to say fixing it was out of the question.
So my boss told the man its worth about 10 bucks, however to replace a low end system would cost 399. So my boss claimed the P2 for 399 claiming to replace a PC of similar quality when it was bought it'd cost 399. So the man got 399 for a Pentium 2 system that most people would hesitate about buying for 10 bucks.
Good deal? O btw his buddy sold him the PC a few years back for 100. So he made 299 off the system even got XP pro SP2 for it.
