MASSIVE COMPUTER WAREHOUSE SALE
« on: Mon, 11 December 2017, 11:18:01 »
Check this out:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Computer-Warehouse-for-sale-100s-of-Vintage-Computers-Keyboards-More/152778302506?hash=item23924be42a:g:Ss0AAOSwhIFZnbb8

You could probably purchase individual computers, keyboards, etc. if you visit the warehouse. Some of the keyboards appear to be IBM Model Ms.

There are bound to be some nice pieces in there, but in general it is just tons of toxic waste.

"The Trump campaign announced in a letter that Republican candidates and committees are now expected to pay “a minimum of 5% of all fundraising solicitations to Trump National Committee JFC” for using his “name, image, and likeness in fundraising solicitations.”
“Any split that is higher than 5%,” the letter states, “will be seen favorably by the RNC and President Trump's campaign and is routinely reported to the highest levels of leadership within both organizations.”"

Apparently, they've already been selling off the valuable/interesting pieces individually. So a buyer would likely just end up with a few decent things, and a whole lot of electronic waste to recycle.

The lease is ending, so presumably it is just for the contents, not the warehouse (building) itself.

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

IF THE LEASE IS ENDING, THEN THE OWNER WOULD HAVE SOME PRESSURE TO RID HIMSELF OF SOME OF THOSE COMPUTERS AT A LOW PRICE, ONE WOULD SUSPECT.

Carefully balance a couple of Clacks on top of the pile of garbage for the pictures, and you just might make a sale.

WHAT'S MISSING FROM THIS TOPIC IS THE IMPORTANT QUESTION: HOW MANY OF THESE COULD RUN WINDOWS 98.

A DUBIOUS QUANTITY.

But you get the actual warehouse, too, so it's not so bad.

I wonder how many square feet that warehouse is?  If it's like 80,000 square feet of stuff like that back to back, it might actually be worth that much if someone can literally test all that stuff, restore it, and sell it.  But then it's all that effort just to get the money back.  And it has to stay somewhere in the meantime.

This just needs to be donated to a computer museum who can handle such donations.

SamirD: look at the seller's name...

I see a whole bunch of disk drives for the Commodore 64, a Commodore monitor and a bunch of Kaypros.
Some vintage computer enthusiasts might be interested in those. That's it.

:-[  I just saw the name.  Well, this doesn't bode well for all that stuff...
