    Default Sierra collectors: What's the smart money on Smart Money?



    The "Sierra" logo on this box caused me to do a double-take when I saw it at a thrift; paid $2.

    Insofar as there aren't any of these on eBay, I'd say this is hard to find. On the other hand, since it's not actually a videogame, collectors might not care. On the other other hand, people might want a complete Sierra software collection...

    What say you? Anybody dare to put a dollar/rarity/other sort of value judgment on this?

    Oh, and... have you ever wondered what's inside a complete Smart Money? So do I. For now, all I can say is that if this one is not complete, I'd be shocked as hell:



    Clockwise from the top left, we have the box, both sets of disks, Read Me First, free samples of checks/envelopes that work with the program, Bank of America pamphlet, Prodigy pamphlet, Smart Money customer guarantee, network guide, keystroke guide, extra disk label, instructions, Sierra catalog and Sierra magazine.

    What's in the free sample envelope, you ask?



    Again, if this isn't 100% complete I'd be shocked. Doesn't look like it was ever used.

    Not sure of the value but it is rare from what I can find.

    All I can recommend is to contact this guy. At the very least he should be able to give an estimate as to what it's worth.

    It's nice but I doubt that it's worth much unless you find a Sierra collector that really wants it. I have a complete copy of Home Word (word processing) by Sierra that I keep as a novelty.

    You need to fill out your registration paperwork and mail it in. I always do that with old software.. some of the mail you receive in return is hilarious.

    What could you possibly get in return?
