This shows the need to get the word out to people that
you collect old
computers. You never know who's going to say "Oh really? My dad has
this old mainframe in his garage that he's throwing out next week." Once
word gets out that you collect old computers, people will be coming to
you.
I would agree with this. I have a web site and I get all sorts of offers
from people trying to sell me machines. I just got this
one from
"tv43(a)digital.net"
I have two (somewhat rare) Apple III systems that
miraculously, work.
Both in great condition (although one has a little tear in the
green-screen fabric). Also have an external 5.25 sloppy drive and misc.
software.
I know what they cost new, but have no idea of their value now. I'd
like to sell one or both or will consider trading for a modern
portable. If interested, please contact me.
I already have a III and they seem to be in the US so shipping is a
problem. If anybody wants to follow up then feel free.
I haven't been offered any 'big things' yet, but that is probably to do
with not having any in my collection.
Regards
