I ran across this auction while checking on some vintage computers

 

This has got to be the biggest collection ever sold on ebay

pongs and video game systems

Holy christ on a cracker. That's nearly (and quite literally) 3 tons of computer equipment. That's a luxury car for cryin' out loud -- he'd have to use like 5 or 6 pallets t to ship that. I'd hate to know what the fee would be.

 

But then it's quite literally 30 years of computing history on one convenient pop...

It's not the first time they try to sell it. I've seen this auction a few times already. Everytime it's "reserve not met". Also i've seen it with a starting bid of $1.000.000

 

It's a nice collection, but this guy wants way too much for it...

It's a very impressive list of items but the following auction statment makes it

difficult to determine exactly whats NOT included

 

"As of 9-24-05 the PC Museum has online the following list of items except many of the magazines, hardware, computers, memorabilia, accessories and software are not online. Not all of our collection is online and some of the items listed are now part of a computer museum and not included in this sale. The condition varies but it is mostly excellent. Some units are in fair to good condition. Some just for replacement parts.......

.......

......

Note: Some items were placed in a new museum opening in 2006. These items are not part of the sale but remain on the website to continue telling the story of computing. Most items have duplicates except: Scelbi-8H, Altair 8800b, 680 and 300, Apple II, Digital Group System, SuperBrain, Processor Tech Helios, SWTP 6800, Heathkit EC-1 and H8, Teletype ASR-33, and a small quatity of software, calculators and peripherals. This is a partial list of the computers and other items in the collection. There is a significant quantity of software and hardware items not listed and are part of the sale. Some appear on our website at www.thepcmuseum.net. Other items are being added to the list."

 

Could be there just clearing out the junk
