I have some old computers. Any value other than doorstops?

Question

Just wondering.  Got a few old computers laying around.  Atari 400, Atari 800, 286's, 386's, couple old laptops and an IBM "PC Junior" with the infra-red keyboard.  They all worked years ago but.. that's  years ago.Any value to these things or should I just have the grand-kids hide them somewhere so their parents won't find them for years after I'm gone.

OR?  maybe use them as door stops, or to house train the Chihuahua? lol thanks.  Da Boomp

Did you know that the electronic circuit boards in these old gadgets has gold in them. There are junk shops that buy these stuff and extract gold, silver, copper, and titanium in them. Check these stuffs at your tube videos.

Guy down at your local river collects them. He just found a load of rope and now all he needs is anchors.

If you have a little more time I would offer to sell them on ebay, because vintage hardware has big value/
