Anyway, this isn't hard. Its just a matter of
moving all the action off
of eBay to somewhere more worthy. If everyone here (I know a lot of
you are still foolish enough to play eBay) would agree to an alternate
location that is perhaps built BY us, then we could lure away all the
other people who aren't on this list eventually and create the premier
vintage computer auction house on the web. Eventually, when this stuff
REALLY becomes valuable, we'll have a virtual stranglehold on the vintage
computer auction market.
Wow. Perhaps its time to incorporate ClassicCmp. ;-)
Kai just mentioned the owner of Haggle is a member of ClassicCmp (who?).
And his creation of an "Antique Computer" section obviously shows he's
interested. I'd also be willing to wager there isn't a larger, better
organized group of computer collectors than on ClassicCmp.
With some active endorsement from ClassicCmp members, and increased
support for classic computers by Haggle, I think we'd be off to an
excellent start.
