A Curiosity

[Terry1953]

As electronic components advance a near light speed it seems that the value of things drop between the time you order something and the time it's is installed and running. As I was browsing around looking for some parts to throw together with the odds and ends I already have to build a few crunchers I happened to run across this add: http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listi...condition=used Now I purchased this same CPU on 10/22/06 from Newegg for a little under $300 (Had to look it up) Would anyone have any idea why it not only kept it's value but seems to have climbed a little bit? I have had it sitting on a shelf for over 4 years because I just haven't gotten around to tracking down another 939 motherboard. I just can't remember this happening with any other item having anything to do with computers. LOL I bought this cooler with it http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835702001 and somehow I doubt it's gone up on value bit I did get the chip up to 3.8 for awhile.
