Just came back from Japan and took a trip down memory lane at super potato. Also came back with a pc-engine GT and 5 games, which set me back a few hundred pounds haha 
Price aside... do you guys regret the kit you threw away? It doesn't feel so long ago that old PCs (which would have been great for some pentium 1 based tracking) looked like pieces of trash to me, and of to the skip they went. It hurts a lot more when we're talking about amigas, cpcs.. etc. (Hey don't scream at me, I was young... and moving country - and at the time these things were e-ve-ry-where at yard sales).
I managed to hang on to a couple of neat things: an original DMG, a colecovision and a few game and watch... but yeah, it feels very odd rebuying all the kit i used to own.. and that sticker shock... oh my!
