Share
The speakers discuss an investment opportunity in vintage Apple computers and early iPods, noting their current low prices and potential for appreciation as collectibles.
Key Points:
-
Current Market Prices:
- Macintosh 2 in good condition: $250-500
- Macintosh 2 in original box: ~$400-1000
- Vintage iMacs (colored): ~$300
- First generation iPods: $500-600
-
Investment Thesis:
- Vintage computers are becoming increasingly popular collectibles
- High engagement value - people are "wowed" by working vintage machines
- Current prices are surprisingly low for historically significant tech
- Potential for significant appreciation as collector items
-
Investment Strategy:
- Buy multiple units now while prices are low
- Focus on working condition units
- Target both boxed and unboxed versions
- Hold as long-term investment
-
Additional Value:
- Display pieces for offices/studios
- Conversation starters
- Historical tech artifacts
- More interesting than traditional art for tech audiences
The speakers conclude this is a good opportunity to "scoop up 5 to 10 of those right now and just hold" them as an investment.
