That is pretty sad to hear. The item is the notebook / diary detailing the restoration of their PDP8/s (or I think it is of theirs). Undoubtedly donated by someone who may have thought it would remain there. I suspect unless the items are going to organizations, they will show up soon on ebay. The buyer in this case showed he had done 90% of his recent business all over items from there, and if you look at their queue it is easy to see why. http://www.ebay.com/itm/221805321988 <https://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fitm%2F221805321988 &usd=2&usg=AFQjCNH-hrxHjmQnJE9doH0QtvgjGgzvmg> I just hope it's not one of the psychos on ebay that one has to deal with with a lot of items, but it probably is. I'm going to go back thru the AGCW feedback given to see what else they got, but I suspect its not a collector. Any word where such items as the PDP8/s and such stand? If the recent example of the Apple 1 donation is any indication the people that are doing the selling are probably not getting the best for their dispersion of the collection. In the Apple case 200k is way under what it probably could have fetched, and whoever got it (and probably whoever sold it) make out like banditos. thanks Jim On 6/26/2015 12:27 PM, Brendan Shanks wrote: > Yep they started selling/giving away their collection few months ago: > http://forums.nekochan.net/viewtopic.php?t=16729439 > > Brendan > > On Fri, Jun 26, 2015 at 11:58 AM, jwsmobile <j...@jwsss.com > <mailto:j...@jwsss.com>> wrote: > > > Does anyone have access to the museum that was at Austin Goodwill? > It seems to be going out on ebay as we speak.
