So...here's the deal...

I put on ad on the local Inland Empire Craigslist but haven't gotten any takers so I figured I'd try here and I'll likely try a few other places as well...

I've got a garage full of old computer and video game stuff. Old Macs, old PC's, old servers, old laptops, Commodore, Amiga, Radio Shack (TRS-80) and more. I'm not talking a warehouse full, I'm talking 50ish computers in all. I've also got lots of old motherboards, video/network/audio/and hard drive controller cards, old PCMCIA cards...basically a bunch of early 80's to mid-2000's computer stuff. Some of the stuff works, some doesn't, but everything is in pretty good shape! If you are interested, I would expect that you'd want to come over and test things out. Or maybe you just want the stuff and don't care what works. It's up to you.

With regard to the old macs...I've got several IIci's, a IIcx, an SE30 case (I've probably got the logic board for it somewhere), a Plus, a WorkGroup Server 6100/66 pizza box style machine in the original box with all original paperwork), a WorkGroup Server 9650/350, a WorkGroup Server 8550/132, a PowerMac G3 tower (266, I think), a PowerMac 6500/225 tower, a Quadra 650, a Quadra 700, a few PowerMac G3 desktops (233's I think), a few original iMac G3's, and lots of others that I'm not remembering. In addition to the above, I've got lots of old SCSI drives for the macs as well as expansion cards, cables, monitors, mice, keyboards, etc.

Oh...I think I failed to mention that I've got several classic 8-bit Nintendo's (including a Sports Edition new in the box) as well as several other classic gaming system like PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Portable (PSP...the original one), Colecovision, Intellivision, TurboGrafx-16, Atari 1600 and 7800 (the 7800 is in the original box), and more. I've also got games for almost all the systems as well as controllers/joysticks. BTW - some of the 8-bit Nintendo games are new in box (some are even still sealed)...and yes...I have a few really rare carts that are worth some pretty decent $.

And...I can't forget the classic old school machines like the Commodore 128 and 128D (the 128 is in the original box!), I've got external 5 1/4" drives for the Commodore including a 1571 in original box and I have games and controllers and other software for the Commodore machines as well. I also have an Amiga 1200 and an Amiga 600 which are freaking cool little machines. I've got software and controllers/joysticks for them too.

There's more (pc laptops, pc servers, pc desktops, parts, etc...), but there's way too much to just list it all out in a post. If someone out there in So Cal (or elsewhere) is interested, I'd love to meet and have you come over and check it all out.

I've hidden my email address on the forum to avoid spammers, but if send me a message indicating you'd like more info, and you send me your email address, I'll email you and we can figure things out from there.

Ideally, I'd like all this stuff to go at once and I'd like it to go to someone who has a passion for "oldware" like I do. Since it's a lot of stuff, and some of it has actual value, I understand that it might be tough to get rid of everything in one fell swoop. But...if the right buyer comes along...and that person wants it all...well...let's just say they'll walk away with a smile on their face because they got a great deal!

Granted, there aren't a lot of ads of this type on this forum, but I guess we'll see what happens!

I hope to hear back from someone soon!!!

You should take pictures and post them here so people can see everything as well. I dont know if it all will "go at once" but if what you say is true then it does sound like alot of the things you have would be interesting.
