Not really--my first question would be "What would I do with it?" At
my age, such answers don't come easily.
I couldn't agree more with your first question. Honestly the only answer I
can come up with is to donate it. My money is better spent elsewhere, like
on a 19th century Petzval lens (still looking for a suitable one) for my
Photography.
The only classic computer stuff I've collected in the past several years was
a couple carloads that were mostly Commodore stuff. It helped out my Aunt
to dispose of stuff from someone she knew that died, and it gave me spares
as well as several items I've wanted since they were new.
I'm looking to dispose of stuff, not get more. Sadly I've found an
interesting roadblock to disposing of stuff, and that is finding free time
to dig stuff out and get rid of it. Like my money, my time is better spent
elsewhere, and it is spent on my family and my photography.
People change over time, and with those changes what is important changes.
