Has anyone but
me discovered AuctionWeb?
I stop in there at least 1-2 times per week, and occasionally puchase from
there, when the mood strikes. Anyway, for y'all that haven't discovered it
yet, head to:
http://www.ebay.com/aw/
I usually list my computers there for sale. Sometimes it's hard to tell what the
going price is on this stuff. In the auction, the buyers set the price. I usually do
alright and the people buying seem very happy to get them so I guess everybody does
ok. And it's a blast scanning the listings.
As a matter of fact, I have been bugging them to add a category for "collectible
computers" or "classic computers" or "computers over 10 years
old" or "non-IBM/Apple
computers"... Well, you get the idea. The listings get lost in the middle of all the
PC stuff. And the same with software. Glad they have a good search function or you
would never be able to find the "good" stuff.
In any case, if some of you from the list would email them on the feedback address,
mailto:aw-feedback@ebay.com, maybe they would go for it. They have over 30
collectibles categories. I know there would be enough listings to make it worth
doing.
