This is a spin-off of another thread, Where do you get your PCs?.
I'm also curious about the best way to "shop" for retro gear. Individual parts are easy enough to find on eBay, but whole systems are trickier. Most of my systems were given to me by friends or acquaintances. I spend a fair bit of time cruising the local Craigslist postings, but have yet to find anything good this way.
However, I've often wondered if I could use Craigslist to "ask" for old machines - hence the title of this thread. So far I haven't been brave enough to try this, as I imagine it could turn into a real mess in a hurry. (I expect that people would try to offload lots of worthless junk onto me, while desirable, enthusiast-grade stuff would remain elusive.)
Does anyone have any experience with this approach?
