An old friend of mine in GA is slimming down his warehouse. I know a long
time ago people sent me some pics and lists of things wanted, but that was a
long time ago. If you are looking for old servers, big blue IBM things, DEC
stuff, etc., please take a few minutes to send the following info to
oldthingswantednow at gmail.com
The name of the item
A short description
A link to a pic, or attach a pic
What you want to pay for it
The expected condition (tested, old and dirty is fine, etc.)
His health is not the best, but he wants this stuff to go to people who will
appreciate it, rather than by the pound.
He will do his best to answer everyone.
Inventory ranges from old typewriters to mainframes, and everything in
between.

Is there any sort of list of what he has or are we just to send out our ?wish list?
and see if he has it?

He does not have a list. Warehouse is about 50k sq feet, and was started in the 1970s.
Like I said, his health is not good, but he wants to find a good home for these.
If sending lists does not work, I can ask him to pick some things out and send me
description and pics so I can post here?
He does not have pricing in mind, so please be fair when you ask or offer.

I have sent Todd his contact info. He is willing to let one person come in and take pics
and post to the group. He does NOT want to move one or 2 items of the most value; he wants
to move out pallets of stuff. He is not closing shop; he just wants to move out some
really old equip that has been there for years.
He did tell me one of the goodies he has is a Commodore 64 new in the box with the
monitor.

Be sure to tell your friend that the mainframe collectors can
certainly make cubic feet of equipment leave the warehouse quickly!

Also, if someone is going to take pictures, especially with the mainframe stuff
(since in many cases the cabinets/racks are non-descript) it is important to get
model number information.

?>>?
Thanks Guy - I'll keep that in mind. If this is a warehouse dive, things
may be stacked on top of one another.. I should be able to get model
numbers of machines, but cards, specific part # may be difficult.
Any other recommendations from the list at large on information to get?

Yea, I?m just concerned that without some more specific parameters it?s going to be
really hard to come up with lists that don?t inundate him. My other big fear is that
we?ll ?self censor? and miss something because we figured no one has it.
