On ebay now, some listings may be completed. I can't cope with any of this. You'll have to scope it out yourself. I have to go cry in my pillow now.

From the listings, it is some super proprietary rare computer stuff that is listed for crazy high prices.

Guessing the OP is selling their collection for some reason even though they "really didn't want to".

For the prices that stuff is selling for, they could probably buy a fairly nice vehicle... I saw one listing that was combined for a specific person for $3,000 USD.

Yeah they are SBC for S-100 bus computers and way overpriced IMHO. One thing unique is that Bill Gates bought their (Seattle Computer Works) 86-DOS and turned into IBM DOS and MSDOS, other than that not much of value IMHO

Hate posting a reply and then have to edit it because it made no sense 😁 First computer was an IBM 3270 workstation with CGA monitor. Stuff: https://archive.org/details/@horun

Shhh don't go and draw attention to their significance. Thus far I don't think anyone knows.

I have no idea what listing it is, but if he's using the same name there (I haven't actually checked) then isn't this just a form of self-promotion of sales and therefor against the rules anyway?

If more people start doing stuff like this, all hell will break loose with covert adds which are otherwise meaningless to anyone who has no interest in buying.

Whats missing in your collections?

I am not the seller. I wasn't suggesting anyone buy the c r ap, simply drawing attention to historic items.

Jesus with the continual calls for censorship. It's just a message board. No need to get up in arms about it.
