Did you know that the old calculator in your loft was worth money? Did you know that there is a ready market for such items that is accessible to all of us? Do you want to know more? 'Collectable Technology' is the book for you. Presented in a handy format with pictures, descriptions and values it will become the bible for today's baby boomer collectors.
In the last five years the appearance of Internet auction sites, most notably Ebay, has seen the way collectors buy and sell change dramatically. Suddenly the whole world has become accessible to the technology savvy collector. The thirty and forty-somethings in today's affluent society now crave to collect the items they possessed in their school years - and they're prepared to pay well for them.
The book is divided into three main sections - Work, Home, and Play - with the items organised chronologically and thematically in each section. Each main chapter will have an introduction to give an idea of how to identify a collectable item. The items listed in each section are accompanied by an image and caption giving a brief history and value. Items will date from the early 1960s right up to the modern day where such recent items are deemed to be future collectables.
'Collectable Technology' is the first true guide to be published for gadget hoarders.
