I wonder how much of a discount OP can get when they send their machine back?
Comment on For some reason, I'm doubtful.

For context, the emachines “never obsolete” wasn’t referring to this computer, it was a recycling program where you could send your old machine back and get a huge discount on your next one. It was actually a pretty good deal at the time, especially when your average family machine was a lot more expensive than they are today

If it’s in perfect condition, and they valued it based on second hand retrocomputing market… probably a nice chunk of cash.

These aren’t super valuable. You can get them for about 200-250 bucks.

There were a couple of companies that tried programs like this. PeoplePC was another similar program. You would pay for their services and they would lease you a computer every 3 years.
