Luck and a bit of hard work :)
It's also just as important to have contacts who *want* stuff as it is
having good contacts for getting hold of things, otherwise you end up
drowning in items that are of no interest to you. It's always worth
picking up carloads of stuff that people are getting rid of though as
occasionally there's something really good in there that's worth
keeping.
I hate to think how many plain old BBC micros and the like have passed
through my hands over the years, but every once in a while there's some
real gems in there. Providing I find homes for the things I don't want
(rather than throwing them out!) I'm happy making the effort to pick up
and sort out this stuff...
