Introduction
SOOuld you plan to buy or sell a used canputer,
\..e
trust
t:re following :infonmtion will nnre than canpensate you for
t:re purchase of this guide. To srne the canprelalsive list
of microcanputers alone will be of groot interest. He have
attanpted to list all t:re popular micros with the exception
of srne single board s~ized canputers.
A microcanputer is defined as a canputer oo a board.
tvhltiple boards are generally beyond tre scope of our listings.
The rooder is cautioned, that while \..e attanpt to be error proof,
\..e can take no responsiblity for the use or accuracy of the
follo.ving :infornrition. \.Je have used a variety of sources that
are considered reliable, but available data can leod to different
interpretatioo and what this guide constitutes is offered as our
opinion.
The used canputer store is a business \.hose idoo is just now
arriving. A carm::n scenario is for a canputer ONDer Mh:l recently
purchased hardware to try for w=eks unsuccessfully to sell even
with dra!mtic price reductions. Thousands of o.vners Mh:l wu1d
like to sell their current systan find t:re task canplicated by an
irmature used smll canputer nmi<etplace causing unsure pricing
of equip1a1t and nade nure difficult by t:re large variety of
choices as \..ell as tie constant introduction of new systars.
Fortunately the used brokerage business gives signs of being tie
single fastest grO\v.ing ~t of a tru1y explosive industry.
l·Jhat follo...s illustrates to tie reader reveral nmns of finding
potential buyers and sellers of canputer systars including a
directory of price :infonmtion for alnnst every typical Smll ·
canputer systan ever nade.
\·Je invite all business interests to let us kncr.-1 in \vhat way
they Jmticir.ate in the used nnrketplace and to share their viavs
with us. There is no charge to have your finn listed in this
guide.

Purpose of GUIDE
The purpose of this guide is to give to the reader a level
of tmderstanding about the used narket and thereby increase his
chance for a productive transaction in used equiJllB1t. It should
be of special interest for anyone wm sells or buys on a
professional level, or sareone considering Jllitici~ting in a
used equiJllB1t business. To date \•Je have fOtmd no single
not:e..orthy oource of infonmtion concerning the used nmket. In
this a.<>pect \lie ooy be the first.
This (lJ]])E is not a c.aiJ{.Erison shopper • There are plenty of
good publications on h<M to IJBke a purchase decision, which would
first sh<M h<M to evaluate the buyer's needs before considering a
possible hardware selection. \...e do ~er, wish to bring
attention to infornation that is indicative of general nmket
trends. This t:i.rrely infonmtion gives insight into future price
trends and helps clarify purchase decisions.
For the careful and educated shopper, there is ~
possiblity of sore stunning 1m-gains. If, on the other hand you
have fallen out of love with your current systan, \lie offer advice
on h<M to sell your equi)liffit and h<M nuch to ask for it.
Yoo can't detenrrine the exact value of used equiJI!ffit
wiilixlt entering the nmketplace to seek bids. If Hr. X will Il'lY
$2aXl for your printer it 1s 'WOrth $:;nx). If yoo find OOIEOI1e
willing to Il'lY a larger Sliii then the value is now greater. The
nnst useful infonmtion this guide contains is prone nunbers.
There are a lot of these. Yoo can likely find the 8118\.ers to
nnst any question concerning the used r.arketplace by using the

Micro Prices
Section 1 - Evaluatioo Fornula •••
A large JX>rtion of tie pricing is taken fran examples within
our own network of used equiprent infonrntion. Publistffi ads in
local and national nagazines as \\ell as contact with tie third
narket were useful in price detenrrination. This is not to say
that \..e did not resort to an "estinated" used value if he
deternrined tie statistical 00se l..as to srnll or appeared
exaggerated.
. How did \..e arrive at a value wla1 sane IJIXIels hold a minor
role in tie narketplace? Tie first step \IRS to detenrrine tie
perfonrnnce cap:1bilities. Dr. Roger t'ii:!len, 'vho 1-elped found
Crrnaoco, has suggested tie follo.ving l-ridely used fornula:
c
R
D
H=- x-- x-1((1(
2Cro
64K
R equals RAN caplcity, D equals
disk caplcity, and C equals
display ch:rracters. By taking
tle value of H and relating it ·
to tie price, useful caflplrism of tie hardware cap:1bilities can
be nade. The higher H is, tle nnre cap:1ble tle equiprent.
Considerations that next follo...ed in accordance with our
on :importance are: CRJ characteristics, operating systen,
software availability, narket trends, features and quality of
IIBI1ufacture. If tie product has narre recognition, it is IIDre
valuable •. Chl.y a handful of nanufacturers can cla:im this bonus.
vie~.,rs
By far tte najority are actual sale prices advertised in tle
narketplace :ilnrediately proceeding tle publication of tle ClJIDE.
Should· you desire canplete infonrntion on any of tle nndels that
follow, \..e \oJOUld be happy to do sane free detailed research for
subcribers of tle CIJIDE.
As a rule of thunb a nndel that is no longer IIBI1ufactured
sells for 25 to 45% of tle orginal purchase price. If tley are
still a current nndel tte average price will approxinately be
fran 45 to 65% of tle current list price. Sore exceptions of
very JX>pular nukes sell for as III.ICh as SO% of list price.

Apple Canputer Inc.
The importance of this microcomputer in the used narketplace
is second to none. Over 1, 100,())) Apples sold in different
versions make this the king of used microcomputers. Apple 11e is
an enhanced version of the Apple 11 and is compatible with nearly
all software and hardware for the Apple 11 (Plus) that ,it
replaces.
The Apple Story •••
Hard to believe that Hewlett-Packard, when presented with
the design plan by Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs, turned it down.
They were on the staff of Atair and Hewlett-Packard in Cupertino,
California and in their spare tine they constructed the crude
prototype of the Apple micro.
As nanbers of a group of computer enthusiasts called the
Harebrew Computer Club they were able to build about 100 units
(in the celebrated Wozniak's parents garage), which they sold to
the club nanbers at a profit.
After obtaining funding and narketing via the firm of A.C.
M:rrkkula, the Apple 11 was born. Apple is now a billion dollar
plus per year company.

long life eJqECtancy and is currently devalued not for \..roT and

CA1e advantage offered by tre purchase of a new canputer nny
It is only a benefit if your canputer brffilr..s
do...n during the lifet::ine of the \..arranty. Otherwise it
contributes to the purchase price and not to the canputer systan
itself. 'I"re actual cost of the warranty for a typical $3XX)
systan is about $25D to $:ll).
be the \..mT'dilty.
A used canputer purchase, on the micro level, alnnst always
cares witrout a warranty. 'I"re reason is that I!DSt transactions
are not dealer originated but are privately sold. Increasing!y,
used equiprEilt dealers offer w:uranties, with a camon duration
of 30 to ~ days. Alvin Ch=eks, o,.mer of ilincept 11 Conputer
Cl!tlets, put it this way: " Hith:rut going through a reputable
used dealer you put up your I!Dney and take your chances, 11
It might be \o.Orth a m.::rrent to rrention what could go wrong
with your ''taby". \Vitrout a doubt it is the rrechanical jXlrts
that give problrnE. 'I"re printer is prooobly the I!DSt likely to
brffik do.Yfl at the \Kong t.ine. (It 1s al\..ays the wrong t:ilre).
Next in order are the disk drives. The I!DSt carm::lil failure is a
a dirty head. Jvbre or less, disk drives rove a 5 yoor life
eJqECtancy with rn:xlerate to heavy use. It's prooobly a ':JJ/5J
chance that a systan failure \v:ill result due to the mri.tor,
keylx>a.rd or systan board itself. Personally, the t\o.O problaiE I
have had \>ere a mri.tor and loose narory chip on the systan
board.
\Vhen inspecting a used systan nnke sure all the keys \o.Ork,
and the printer prcxluces unifonn printing without strange (even
if nusical) sounds. Their is oo easy way to determine the \..roT
and tear a drive has sustained except asking questions of the
orginal o...rer. Has he had any equip;1ent failures? hlhere and mw
long ago did he purchase the systan? Above all you nust take the
79
systan for a 'test drive'. We've been told by canputer re~
that using a graphic oriented sofo11are program, such as a canplex
gare, is camnn with technicians for JX>St-relffi.r checkout.
\\hal (l.li"Chasing mini and DBinfrane equiprent with their
higher price tags it becqres .Y£!:I. important if that equiprent has
been re-furbished and is eligible for a IIBintenance agreenait.
For t1n9e \\00 have a srnewhat larger itan that can't be
sold, or doesn't wrk, \..e have included oore firms \\00 plrChase
obsolete canputers. Sale are looking pr:i.nmily for older m:xie1s
{pre-1970) that have a tmlthy anptDlt of precioos ~tal content.
You need rot even have a canplete systan as canponents, switches,
l:a:kplanes, coonectors, circuit cards all have value.

Market Trends
It wuld be difficult for a new finn to subsist by trading
microcanputers exclusively . This can be exyg:ted to change in
the caning nnnths as the microcanputer continues to play a bigger
role. lla-e are in fact, a fa.,r exnmples of exclusively used

will canprise used smll canputer sales. By

According to an analysis of the DATA 9l.JOCES data lase, fran
April '83 to January '84, the microcanputer aroo of the narket
grav at a 26.9 percent rate, and the specialized syst:aiS segnent
advanced 45.6 percent. In contrast, the supercanputer and
nainfranE rra.rket sho...ed a tmdest 5.5 percent exp:msion and the
<:anJercial systais aroo lost 2.2 percent of its products.
DATA sa.JOC:ES, a Ziff-llivis guide to products, \\Glt on to
say: ''Ever decroosing harch.are costs and tl1e increasing
cap3bilitie s of high-end minicanputers have slc:Mly eroded nuch of
the nainfranE 's traditional nnrket".
By all indications , the used nnrketplace can expect 1984 to
be a very good yoor indeed.
According to researcher, Iebra
Hurd, tlere will be approxinnte ly 5 million personal canputers
purchased in 1984 as canpared to an expected birth rate of 3.8
million children. ~ conclusion is that canputers are oore
popular than children.

82
Current trading reflects a hrovy interest in tre t£.-IXE
personal canputers (lUi and tre canratibles). The supply is not
available to rrret this dmand. Apple canputers, having excellent
flaliE recognition are still nuch in damnd but with a slight drop
in interest. Q_)/{11 will gradually becCJIE unpopular and continue
to yield for !ID11ths the largest source of used canputers in
circulation.
Printers •• .;
The $3,CXD dollar laser printer is e>..lJOCted out by the end
of 1S64. It \\On 't re long before laser type printers darrinate
the business and professional printer narket. Apple is hinting
at a laser printer for the nev Lisa and M3cintosh systaiB in the
$5,())) range. These oo called "super printers" will never be
able to canpete with tie lw end of conventional ~t printers
in price. All of tie· faster, high priced :inqoct printers
fo...ever, will becCJIE in ca~n sl<:Ao.er, noiser, and offer
lo..er reoolution and inferior graphics. It \o.ould sean that
certain classes of printers are nnre prone to speedy devaluation
than IIDSt canputers tlaiselves.
Like printers, disc drives suffer fran unavoidable \..ear and
therefore have a sal8vhat fixed lifetine due to their IIEChani.cal .
nature. Optical disks are expected to be nnre reliable and
available in the first half of 1985 for a cost of about $1000.
These disi<S could oosily provide up to .W Hbytes on 5.25" size
disl<. It nny take SCJIE tine before this ne..,r technology \rill be
cost effective for replacing current rragnetic nalia which is also
improving.
Printers... New or Used?
All in all tie decision to purchase a printer is easier than
tie canputer itself. It still, !VHever, takes careful
consideration as potentially over 1000 nrxiels lobby for your
printer purchase trough only a snnll number of these are found
with regularity in tie used nnrketplace.
The Disposable Printer?
83
If your reqtrlrarents are in camoo with the average buyer
yoo vr.ill purchase a ~ $W dollar dot natrix or letter quality
printer. He have reen recent additions to the :im(:act natrix
family for reportedly near "letter quality" printers with speeds
of 100 characters ~ second and selling for suggested retail
prices as law as $D:l. Soch lo." prices will effectively ob..colete
nany older nrxlels and encourage a decline of prices on nany used
printers, Sore have coined tha~ lighhveight printers
"disposable", Actually, a very reliable printer can be purchased
at this price and can be ~ted to give long and troublefree
~ornance. At the other end of the natrix printers in both
price and perfonmnce are dot natri.'C printers with speeds of
several ht.mdred CPS, costing upto 5 or 6 tOOusand dollars, and
can easily l..eigh 70 or 00 pounds which represents, in {Et, the
additional steel and plastic to supply the required strength for
fast nnving print heads.
A few trivia questions •••
Q: \·Jhat is the nnst expensive printer oo the rrarl::et?
A: To date the Xerox 9700 Electronic Printing System. $392,QX)
Q: hhat is the fastest printer?
A: He have ''heard of a 26,CXD UH printer but the fastest \ve
have been able to nail dCM!l is the IatagraphiX 9an. At
21 ,em lines ~ minute this laser printer could produce
"Gone With The \fuxl" in flawless copy before you could read
the first Jl:l8e• Price = $377,895.
tbrltors •••
If the quality of the rronitor is JXX>r you \\OOld protably
relate that to the sophisticatioo of the canputer itself. 'Ire
npnitor is the single nnst visible canponent of a canputer systan
and p.L"lys a critical {llrt in row \ve percieve the canputer and has
frequently of inferior resolution. With a recent growth in high
resolution and l01a:- cost !!Dnitors the nmi<et is becarring
increasingly canpetitive and forcing prices to drop. Light JalS,
nnuses, dedicated display nemry and other accessories are
ap~ on the narket.
84
No segrrent of ti-e microcanputer industry is exJXIflding as
fast as color graphics causing the prices for high resolution Irn
rronitors to sell in 1<;6!. for under $S.':D. Tile S8IIE rronitor 'IIK)U}.d
of cost over $1a:D in 1982. Leading Edge Gorilla nunichrrne is
an example of under $100 dollar with very acceptable quality.
Liquid crystal or light--anitting diode displays will increase in
popularity but so far are of overall minor importance.
\.Jhat 's the nnnitor of ti-e future?
Perhaps gas plasm IIDn:itors considering ti-e incredible
resolution without ti-e glare and flicker associated \<1ith rnr
screens. '!hey are also flat for another improvaJEilt and prarrise
to becrne cost effective as graphics requiralEilts exceed ti-e
CRT's ca{llblity.
H:xritors do Wffir out. Screen cootings fade and occasionally
the electronics fail. There is little incentive for buying used
IIDnochrooe IIDnitors as they£!!!. be purchased~ for little.
We're taxing our crystal tall, but~ feel that the
psycmlogy for purchasing used canputer equiprent is changing
dranatically not only because of increasing canputers sales, but
also as a result of buyer sophistication. In the rrean~, \..e
expect to see nav finns, IIDSt of t.OCm very smll, becaning
