Hey folks, last night I recieved the message below. This guy posted an
identical message to Erik's www.vintage-computer.com/vcforum page as well.
I have no information about the credibility of the seller. It's certainly
not the "largest computer collection in the world" but it should be an
interesting discussion. ;)

Subject: LARGEST COMPUTER COLLECTION IN THE WORLD (?) FOR SALE
Hi there,
I am selling my complete collection of computers (over 570 different ones).
If you are interested in some computer(s) from my collection, just mail me
at info AT fki DOT be (replace AT by @ and DOT by .) and I'll add you to the
list of possible buyers. I will then mail you back explaining how I intend
to sell the computers.
As you can see from my 100% positive feedback on Ebay (member ChaosDM) this
is not a scam, but a serious sale. I don't
want to go through Ebay directly, because listing 570 different items
separately would take AGES!
Anyway...the list of the collection can be seen here :
<http://users.pandora.be/F-242/Computers.htm>
http://users.pandora.be/F-242/Computers.htm
There are a LOT of very and ULTRA rare items in there
For example :
A GOLDEN C64 WITH COMMEMORATIVE PLAQUE!
A LOT OF ARABIC MSx's
A LOT OF RUSSIAN COMPUTERS
ETC...
Cheers,
Dimitri Kokken

It might be on the up-and-up, but it does make my bullshit-sense tingle.
All I know is that shipping a collection that size across the Atlantic
would cost a fortune.

It's definitely not the largest collection in the world. I have *one
machine* that's bigger than that entire collection.
Peace... Sridhar

LOL, well he meant in quantity, not physical size. But even in quantity,
there are others on this list who have him beat by a LOT.

Um, I can actually vouch for that one, hehe. Brings new meaning to
Big (heavy-ass) Iron. Interesting collection that the chap has
though. Too bad he is in Europe/Belgium...

Bigger than 570 individual machines? Assuming it's real of course.
Certainly bigger than my paltry 450 machines, I feel ashamed :)

It is almost certainly genuine.
