    First Estate Sale of 2014

    I went to my first estate sale of this year and found several lots of vintage computer equipment still in boxes. Pictured below are some of the better things that were in the lots to include: Mechanical keyboards still in the box, video cards, assorted hard drives ( including 2 external 2 TB hard drives still in the box) and various other computer hardware. I paid $25.00 for everything and was very pleased considering the sale was 2 miles away from my house. It just shows you that you never know where you will find your next score.

    Hey Sabby,
    nice findings , but I think 25$ is not a good deal for it.

    Selling one mechanical/clicky keyboard could pay for the lot.

    How so? Ebay shows the 2TB Hard drives sell for between 30-120 depending on the model. And he has two. Even at 20 each he almost doubles his money. I think he did pretty well!
    If I didn't have bad luck, I'd have no luck at all...

    As much as I love these threads with vintage stuff..I feel old every time I see them, knowing i used them, or had it at one point!

    Sound blaster...there's a name I remember.

    An right on KZ and Jord. The one drive alone pays for that lot, the rest is all icing.

    Nice score!
