So, I ran across a local ad for some old computers.
I have attached the photos from his ad.
He says that he is selling an IBM 5153 monitor, IBM 5155 portable computer with carrying bag and manuals (that's what he says it is, but it does look quite right to me as the monitor appears to be on the wrong side), a Tandy 2500 SX/33, a Tandy 1000 (not sure which model), a Tandy VGM-225 monitor, and some printers (I'm not really interested in the printers).
He says that they have not been used in 25-30 years. He is a bit unclear on what works and what does not. He does say that the IBM 5155 turns on for a couple of seconds then turns off. He claims that the IBM 5153 works and he "thinks" the Tandy computers work, but he won't test them.
What do you think these computers are worth, both in working and non-working order?
I did some pricing based on eBay sold listings, but I wanted to get some opinions here before I go take a look at them.
I plan to go see them on Thursday afternoon.
Thanks in advance!
