Yes, Sellam owns the right to "Vintage Computer Festival". As Sellam
stated, this is to get funds for the operation and storage of his vast
collection.
There is no "unspecified, unknown stuff". He has a big-ass collection
that could probably eclipse the sun (and quite a few other stars). All
you have to do is tell him whatever you want that is in the realm of
vintage computing. Then he will give you a dollar value of what he
would like for said items.
Now you have a choice of what to do. Accept the price and then you get
the vintage computer stuff you want. Decline because you feel it is too
much, no problem! Or come back with another offer and he may even
accept that!
This is probably the best way at what I am sure will be a much fairer
price then you can find on ebay for some vintage computer items you have
been looking for. Sellam's loss will be your gain!

OK, so this is a request by Sellam to fund Sellam
by selling
unspecified, unknown stuff. Wouldn't it have been better to have a
functioning VCF West? There hasn't been one since 2007.
Why hasn't there been one and if Sellam can't deal with it anymore why
doesn't he step aside and let someone else take over ? There has only
been an increase in interest in vintage computers since the last one.
Does Sellam own the rights to the name or something ? Maybe it could
just be called something else and we could get an event out here again.
