Yes, to many people it is. The people on the show Pawn Stars have a
saying: just because it's old doesn't mean it's valuable.=20

The Mona Lisa at least has uniqueness going for it, there's only one.

Old computer hardware OTOH is usually only worth something if it's
either rare (Apple I) or has some hook (this Macintosh was the one
sitting on Seinfeld's desk on the set of Seinfeld).=20

Otherwise, even if you're talking about something that's 50 years old,
if there were millions of them made the value remains pretty much zero
(for most items, there are always exceptions).
