Why would you avoid E Bay? I have found that with Ham gear its a
pretty good market. I can get more there than at Ham Fests and I don't
have to haul it all over hells half acre.

Jim,
To sell your systems, I recommend either using this list, or posting at a web
site like http://marketplace.vintage.org or
http://www.vintage-computer.com/vcforum -- I'd urge you to avoid eBay. For the
price of systems, you should check out the book "Collectible Microcomputer" by
Michael Nadeau, or just ask people on this list.

Sinclair that has been built into a monitor/keyboard cabinet with lots
of super mods., a couple of TI computers and modules, a Commodore
SX-64, several Datavue 25s (first really portable computer). If I were
to hang on to anything it might be the Commodore SX-64 because it has a
color screen and I have a Packet radio set up that fits it....hmmmm
maybe I should sell the packet radio set up with it. But what I think
what I will do is sell these either here or on E Bay and when the stack
gets low, keep the last couple or the ones of the least value and use
what I get from the others to make the last ones really nice.
Is there a place where I can go to see what the values of the various
units is?

Welcome to this list. I'm sure you'll get a number of people
(including me) curious about what computers you might have
and where you're located.
As far as deciding what to do -- do you have some "favorites"
that you'd like to power up and run?
Cheers,
