As one might expect, Glenn is a collector of vintage computers. He is building a proper collection actually but this particular acquisition was special. Glenn is from the UK and a friend of his from Manchester England contacted him with respect to his possible interest in buying an Amiga PC. They were selling it as part of a house clearance for a friend who bought it but never actually used the machine. Look at those shiny screws, the utter lack of dust in its power supply fans, heck even the PSU power switch is still in the off position.

As time went on, eventually the gentlemen that owned the Amiga passed away, never actually firing up the machine and his wife simply would not sell it. Eventually, his wife passed away as well and when it came time to liquidate the couple's estate, Glenn was called in - aficionado of all things vintage computing that he is - to consider the notion of taking the machine off the hands of the executor for a price.

Glenn paid £200.00 for the machine including its monitor, or about $248 US. If you scan internet etailers and auction sites for old Amiga 2000 machines, you'll find they go for about $250 - $300 or so, but those machines likely aren't as pristine as Glenn's 30 year old virgin.
