Since 1988, the American Computer Exchange has brokered tens of thousands of used microcomputers worldwide. Sellers, both companies and individuals, list equipment for sale on our database. When buyers call, we locate what they need and charge the seller a 10% - 15% commission.
Due to our unique position, we have accumulated an enormous amount of information regarding prices and trends in the secondary computer market. This program is an attempt to give users a good approximation of computer values. It allows users to calculate used Mac and PC prices with any configuration of ram, hard drive, and monitor.
Be aware, only two things determine the value of a used computer - supply and demand. Overall, trends are fairly predictable over time. The hundreds of formulas in this program are adjusted with a time factor. However, those factors should be recalculated every 90 days. A warning will appear if your version of the program is out of this date range.
ACECALC v2.07 is the latest version of the widely used price estimating software package that allows registered users to accurately estimate the value of used IBM compatible
and Macintosh personal computers. Version 2.07 of the software incorporates printing ability, the addition of more Pentium and PowerMac based systems, and updated CD-ROM support. The software uses a complex series of algorithms based on the American Computer Exchange's nine years of experience in matching buyers and sellers of used computers
to create an estimated value of a used computer.
These algorithms not only take into account the configuration of the computer but also take into account the demand of the computer based upon actual previous trades. In addition, the software also utilizes a specific depreciation schedule for the computer to accurately adjust the value over the operational life of the software. New releases of the software come out quarterly and incorporate updated algorithms, new model introductions, and general enhancements as requested by current subscribers. Subscriptions are available on an annual and quarterly basis.
The ACECALC software has been an overwhelming success for the American Computer Exchange due to its popularity with a wide variety of users. The software is an excellent reference for corporations, insurance agents, and other computer related industries looking to quickly and accurately estimate the value of a variety of different computer equipment and is already in use by such companies as: ALCOA, Cummins Diesel, Boston Edison, Apple Computer, Dell Computer, Dow Chemical, Arthur Anderson, Aetna, Harvard University, Citicorp, Prudential, Pacific Gas & Electric, Duke University, Sybase, Ohio National Life.
