I know the Mac512k does for sure.

On top of what the seller sees it of value as. If I get an S/36 and don't know what the
heck it is, I may only ask $20 for it whereas a buyer that knows what it is may be
ready to pay $100 or more (only an analogy, not realistic so don't nail me on this you
S/3x people).
I had a TRS-80 model 4 that I thought $25 was fair for it and the new owner felt good
about it. A week later I had a person from a Massachusetts drug company call to see if
I had it and if I'd be willing to let it go for $100....seems they still have something
going at their plant that requires this machine and the upgrade to a newer system is in
the works but not quite done or on budget, so they're stuck with the model 4. Go
figure.
