Just a friendly bump. Did anyone post this on vcfed or any mac collector forums?
I went there. There was no Apple stuff that I saw, mostly 386 and 486 computers. He is a scrapper as a retirement job in RVA and does a lot of Hamfests, been doing the for many years.
Prices are based on eBay sold prices, minus a percentage. He said he has one or two people that will buy large amounts of stuff straight up then eBay it all -- sometimes parting it all out.
Much of the systems from that haul had rust/corrosion - they were in some sort of overgrown garage, they were all university / govt surplus from a long time ago.
Sounds like he gets cool things from time to time, for free. And you will pay a decent amount to get them from him :-) Such is life.
My friend bought 5 computers, 2 PS/2 systems (one 386 and one 486) and 3 generic 386 computers. Came in at $100. The PS/2 systems were pretty rough though (corrosion on metal parts internally.)
I think friends are going back to try to buy some CGA monitors. Ya roll the dice!
