So did you get anything? Is there any more to the story?

[hyperventilating]

Looks a bit haphazard... boxes stacked upon boxes stacked upon monitors stacked upon boxes. Wonder how much of the stuff is actually salvageable.

That last photo looks especially dire.

Water damage as well.

Who ever owns this should put those IBM 5154 monitors and IBM mechanical keyboards on ebay to start a get rich quick scheme 😁

Anyway, jeezz, this indeed looks like the mother of all loads. Moar pictures please 😊

I thought it was luckybobs house, but I guess not..

We really want more info on this tease OP!!!

About a year to take inventory and another 50 to test it all. 🤣 It's amazing people are still finding stashes like this. Hopefully it can all be saved. Look forward to hearing more about this.

Incredible...did you take the photos? What is the owner going to do with it?

OP pls respond

He got crushed by the boxes.

Lucky guy....

it would render me some months of entertainment.

So basically the guy used to run a computer shop where he repaired those computers and sold them, but the guy that repaired the computers for him passed away and all the modern computer techs he brought in to try to repair them had no idea what they were doing on anything that old. I am going to offer to work there part time to catalog, clean up, and repair the stuff so that he could list it on ebay. (I'm an unemployed college student so I have ridiculous amounts of free time) I'll let you know what he says.

Edit: Sorry, that's all the pictures I have at the moment, I was so overwhelmed by the amount of stuff that I forgot to take pictures until the last second. Also sorry about the late response, I'm in a completely different time zone as most of y'all 🤣

Ahhh I really hope you can get into that role and give them some attention. This is like seeing those commercials of sad neglected puppies for me.

I've driven farther. Denver to Houston (ish) is easy. Last road trip I took was 2000miles round trip for some rare Pentium Pro machines.

Let us know when they start putting some of this up on ebay, or if they want to do any deals to this community prior to going on ebay =)

So, where in Texas.......asking for a friend 😀
