Heya,
usually I'm not in the old hardware but I bought a huge lot of things. A lot of games, games memorabilia...but also some hardware. I wasn't going after the hardware but buy all or nothing 😀
But my problem is that I live in Germany and the stuff is in the US. So if I were living in the US I'd just keep all of it, store it etc. But shipping across the sea is just costly and the things are not exactly worth the high shipping costs (and not guaranteed to work to begin with - the seller bought this lot from another collector, so he only knows what the original seller told him).
So there is a Macintosh SE I'm on the fence of keeping but its plastic on top is damaged so it might be better not to ship it and just get one here if I really want one, a C64 (which I might keep but the Commodore monitor and floppy I'll leave behind), a TI99, an Apple II+ (I think) which supposedly doesn't work anymore, and an FM Towns II tower (which I'll keep for sure 😀).
And this Osborne. So my question is: worth keeping for someone who isn't really into collecting old hardware? (and shipping costs of $200 - $300). Mind you, I'm not going to throw these away, the seller is ok to sell some items on ebay as long as it isn't excessive.
And no, this is not a fishing expedition, I'm not trying to sell these here. The seller is going to sell them via ebay.
