Thousands of 1980s PCs lived happily in a barn for 33 years and are now being sold for $120 a pop so you can relive the birth of PC gaming and the internet yourself

A Massachusetts man is selling no fewer than 2,200 new 1980s PCs. Each and every one is box fresh and powered by the very same Z80 processor as used in epoch-defining computers from the '80s, including the TRS-80 and Sinclair ZX80. 

As of yesterday, over 500 had been sold with plenty still available. They're available as we write on Ebay for $120 a pop. That's a fair bit up on the $20 the machines were originally listed at on Craigslist. Just a few days ago, they were on Ebay at $100, so the asking price is still escalating.
