We spotted this story reported by the BBC back in June this year:

“A San Francisco recycling centre is seeking a woman who may have handed over a rare Apple I computer by mistake. The machine was among other components and computers the woman wanted to dispose of after her husband died. Only about 200 of the first-generation Apple computers were made. The company recognised the value of the old computer and sold it to a private collector for about $200,000 (£131,000).”

It just goes to show there can be money in old computers. To understand if your old computers have value contact Secure Data Recycling.
