Good list but definitely flame-bait. :^)
One glaring ommission is Grid. Eminently collectable.
I would have included the Atari XEs as Atari XL/XE.
Also the Atari Stacy was the travelling musicians favorite
and is still hard to come by and retains its' price level very well.
The laptops are under-represented. As well as the Grid and STacy the
Epson QX20, Zenith Sportster and Nec Multispeed come to mind.
The Tandy 1000/2000's would be on some collectors lists.
The Hyperion and Icon are highly collectable but I think they were made in
Canada.
