are these at this point in time still any good for
procuring puter gear of a vintage nature? I used to
see loads of stuph out on Lawnguylind (when it wadnt
all that interesting) at these events. Ham dudes are
real packrats. Now it doesnt have to be a whole systen
necessarily. Sometimes components - monitors, video
cards, whatever - could be just as groovy.

My feeling is no, based on recent reports on the list from some people
who have attended hamfests. (This subject has also come up
tangentially from other threads.) However, I've never even been able
to find a hamfest to attend, so I'm not an authoritative source on the
matter.

Hell Yes! I passed up three Amigas with the video toasters just two
weeks ago at the Orlando Hamfest. I think the guy would have given them to
anyone that would take them. Hunting at hamfests are just like hunting
anywhere else: Go often, Go early and look hard and you'll find the stuff.
Also talk to people about what you're looking for and you'll frequently
find someone that has an old computer that they've been saving becasue they
stnd the thought of throwing it away and they're just looking for someone
that will take it and preserve it. I found a Sage with all the manuals and
SW that way last fall. I've NEVER left a hamfest empty handed!

Do you already have a video toaster or just no interest in Amiga gear? I
would love a toaster for my A2000 but have yet to see any in my area at a
reasonable price (Ohio).

Make a reasonable offer (offlist). I'll even throw in the Video
Toaster case cover and input board that came with it.

How much were you looking to get? I hate making offers since I tend to
lowball and some people get offended. Most of my collection tends to be
acquired when people just want the items gone, like an almost unused
external Sony DDS4 DAT drive I got a week ago for $16 shipped.
