EXPERT MARKET ANALYSIS **Expert Report: Analysis of Vintage Computer Sales** **Price Trends Over Time** The data suggests a relatively stable market for vintage computers, with prices remaining consistent over time. However, there are some fluctuations that indicate price sensitivity to product condition and rarity. **General Assumptions about the Products** Based on the descriptions and price changes, it appears that: * Condition is a significant factor in determining price: Tested or working units command higher prices than those described as "AS-IS" for parts or repair. **Significant Outliers or Price Fluctuations** The sale of the 64K Color Computer 2 stands out as a significant outlier, with a price more than twice that of other units. This suggests strong demand for this specific configuration or components. In general, prices remain relatively low, indicating a niche market with limited demand. However, certain configurations or components may command higher prices due to their rarity or desirability. As the market continues to evolve, we may see price fluctuations driven by changing demand and supply dynamics.
* Rarity can impact price: The 64K Color Computer 2, which is likely a more rare configuration, sold for a significantly higher price than other models.
* Demand for specific components or configurations can drive up prices: The inclusion of three games with the 32K Tandy Color Computer 2 may have contributed to its selling price.
