    There used to be, an pretty sure there are still a couple buyers who buy them so they don't end up scrapped an sold for more then scrap value to other collectors of such things. One person we used to have here, who was very helpful with such things, up an vanished with no word or anything, not even a "Hahaha! Eff you all an your goats to!" Tho said person still had one of our members stuff if I recall. Such a shame.



    For the love of god...don't scrap the old vintage collectibles. I'm the first one to say "To hell with ebay" but..please..for the love of all the beverages and the Glorious coolers that hold them..don't scrap the old collectible stuff! Every time you do a beer can somewhere is killed, or a soda can, or whatever your beverage of choice is...

    I think I saw a buyer thread recently when I was browsing pricing that mentioned buying "vintage" computers/equipment.

    Unknown spoke up, and there a couple other collectors out there in our membership that also collect such things.

    If you had asked about video games an their systems(Quite collectible if you find the right games/stuff) I'd point you to one of our buyers who also is a fan of ninjas(Good guy tho, don't hold it against him being pro-ninja ).

    Good luck to ya, an post pics if you got any good old stuff. You never know who is lurking out there reading, just might be somebody interested in that early 80s IBM, or whathaveyou.
