The Magazine for the

Electronics Activist!

Used

computers have

no tires

to kick!

It had

to happen

sooner or later! They

sell

used cars, used

clothes, used

bicycles,

used just about

everything! Why not

used

microcomputers?

The

National

Association

of Computer Dealers

(NACD) has

examined the

used

-microcomputer marketplace

to determine

the

dollar volume

-it was

$1.2 billion in 1987.

That

amount

includes

all the known

areas

the

used -microcomputer

market.

With

used -microcomputer

sales on the rise

and overall

used

values

up, expect

the amount to

top $1.8

billion

in 1988.

The

survey indicates

that

computer

stores account for less

than

six percent

of the

sales,

indicating

that used

-microcomputer

stores have not

reached

their

potential.

Computer brokers, the

middle men

who

sell

without

taking possession

of used

comput-

ers,

have

an even smaller

share of the market.

Then, where is

the

market?

The major

force remains

the

consumer,

selling through

classified

ads

and to

friends

and co- workers.

The lucky

buyers work for

companies

that sell

outdated

equipment to their

employees

before

that gear is made

available

the

public.

you

can

well

expect, since the

used car market has

it's Red

Book,

the

used

computer market has

the

Used

Value

Index

(UVI),

market

indicator

derived

by taking the

average

selling

price

Apple,

IBM,

and

Compaq computers

(to name

few

brands),

and comparing it

to the

average used

selling

price

the

same

equipment. Presently,

the

UVI

a high

67.86 %, indicating

the willingness

of the

public to buy

used gear. IBM

computers

UVI is

63.14

% -a

bit below the market

value,

but

expected to

rise

once the PS

market

stabilizes.

The

NACD provides

the

used

computer market

data to

Sybex,

Inc., which

publishes

that information

the

Computer Blue

Book.

Over

12,500

hardware

and software items

are listed

there.

That guide

details the new

and used values

that

are used in the

survey.

So there you have

it,

an organized

used -microcomputer

market-

place

that's

growing,

despite the fact

that used

computers have

no tires

to kick!
