I wouldn't quite say that.  Sometimes non-working equipment can turn
out to be a real bargain.  I picked up a 32 inch tv from a garbage
dump one time (looked almost brand new), replaced a fuse and it now
sits in my gaming room hooked up to many older gaming systems.  Mind
you, that was free.  But even for a small bid and for the price of
shipping, it would be worth to replace the power supply, remove and re-
seat a few chips ... a non-working Apple III could still turn out to
be a real bargain.  Or if the case is at least in nice shape, swap out
the Apple III motherboard, put in an Apple II+ motherboard, and pass
it off as an Apple III that only works in Apple II+ mode.  -_-  It
worked for that guy who got 5 grand for a II+ motherboard in an Apple
II case.  (If that's not funny then neither is the Big Bang Theory)
