HELP Nutting Industries LTD "IQ Computer"

[14jensenc]

Hello! My name's Cassy and I'm in possession of this Nutting Industries IQ Computer. I've been doing a lot of research on it, but all I can find is information on the Dual IQ Computer and the Computer Quiz. I hit a dead end so I joined this forum in hopes that someone can help me out. My father and I are trying to sell it and we have no idea how to price it or how much it's worth. Can any of you guys help a girl out? Thank you so much! I'll attach a couple photos too. It's kind of blurry on the label but it says "Nutting Industries LTD, Made in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, serial no. 339, model cq-101".

Also, what is the best approach to selling something like this? Usually my dad and I sell things on ebay but this is really heavy and the shipping for it would be astronomical.

Here is how it all fits in history:

As for value, even working these are not terribly valuable. They use a series of film strips as seen here (this was my machine)

I think I gave mine to another gamer. My suggestion would be post on Craigslist and sell locally. If you have to ship, or you decide to sell online with ebay, check out forwardair.com and see where the closest terminal is to you. That way you could drop it off and strap it to a palate and they would ship it from your location to another Forward Air terminal nationwide. Should be 2-300 shipping tops.

 

Good luck. Just my .25 on it

Ooooo sorry about that link. That's my old ugly original webpage. I cleaned it up a bit a few years ago. The Computer Quiz stuff is near the middle

As to the value of a machine like this? That's a toughie Cassy. It has a limitation for the questions inside so it's appeal is more the novelty factor. I think Cassidy is right, post locally like Craig's list and see if you can fetch 2-300 for it.
