A friend of mine picked this computer up at an auction (dirt cheap) the other day

The question is does it have any collectible value ? --- if so does anyone have any idea of its value & how/where does one go about selling it?

& or its for sale if anyone here is interested in it

Good to hear from you Kurt, hope you are doing well!

Per this link it looks as though your vintage 1987 Sharp PC-4502 retailed for $1795.00 and had a whopping 640K of RAM. Apparently it has two 3 1/2" floppys too!!

Maybe someone at one of these vintage equipment links would be interested...

Good luck!

If it has a power adapter and will power up, that normally increases
it's potential value to a collector. I ask, only because I didn't see a power
adapter or the power cord in the photo.

No power adapter - just the computer

Durn, It requires a 6V DC 14W power adapter.
I will look around the shop this week and see if I may have one squirreled
away somewhere. 8)
