Let Them Come

One way to find vintage computers is to let them find you.
Try placing an ad in the classifieds section of your local
paper. Be sure to specify exactly what you are looking for
to avoid getting a flood of false leads. In the very least,
include a cut-off year indicating you are not interested in
any computers manufactured after that year.
Anybody try this? What kind of response did you get?
Not a newspaper ad, but posting a Usenet ad was quite possibly the best
thing I could've ever done. I posted several ads in the local for sale
newsgroups periodically over the course of several months and turned up
all sorts of good stuff.
