Don't think selling/trading is allowed on here... strongly recommend Amibay though if you don't want to deal with eBay. This kind of stash will fit right in there.

Cheers, I'll get it posted on Amibay. Not really selling or trading, just looking for advice to help out a friend.

Edit: There is too much for one person to reasonably list on eBay, though he has sold a few items on there. I'm just helping him out, personally I'd prefer to talk to enthusiasts than scalpers/people looking for a quick buck which is why I posted here.

"Talk to enthusiasts" sounds a lot like "interested in maximizing the profit" to me 😁

Selling a big collection piece by piece is a hassle.
If it was me, and the primary concern was to get rid of the stuff, I'd set up a garage sale - no worries about shipping, writing ads, etc. Cash in hand at the end of the day.

I'm not getting anything out of it, I'm just helping out a friend. He's always given me a good price on anything I bought from him. Max profits don't seem to be his main consideration or else I guess he would've Ebayed most of the good stuff by now.

You may be right about just getting rid of the stuff, though I don't know of a significant retro computer scene in the South Wales area. I'll have to speak to him about maybe avertising the hoard on gumtree or facebook.

I'd try and see if there are some UK based Facebook groups on retro stuff. I'm pretty sure someone would be interested in taking the lot given a good price.

Back in 2014 I was given a whole lot of computer stuff, new and old from a family member who worked at a company that went out of business. It was everything or nothing. Later I received offers to sell the whole lot, but in the end I decided to I split it all up. I did up making 4 times the profit by doing that, but it was alot of work!

Certainly some interesting bits there... wonder how many surviving NV1 cards there are, looks like the thing has a sound chip as well, and of course, everyone knows Voodoo cards are a significant thing.

There's a bit of a loose "scene" in Bristol I think. I guess most cities have the inklings of one, but Bristol supports a retro arcade at least. Anyway, if you aim toward Bristol FB groups, Reddits, classifieds, there might be some willing to scoot down the M4 for stuff.

you may have luck on vcfed.org forums. You can sell there. I've never been able to login to Amibay, but perhaps that's just me. Are there any AT towers?

I'll take a look there too, thanks. I'm not having much luck with local Facebook groups as most are either focused on micros or more modern computers.

I did post a thread to amibay as well but it hasn't been approved by the mods over there as of yet.

That's a pretty good idea actually. If I set up a discord I will post it here. I think before I do that I will need to get a more thorough catalogue of the more noteworthy and interesting items. There is a lot to look through though and even the owner doesn't remember everything that is there.
