If it's old (pre-1990), before you scrap it, get in touch with me. If you're not sure what you've got, I'm also happy to answer questions (or at least try to).
Edit: Old digital calculators/adding machines too!

Thanks.

Hmm, that sounds bad but means good. ;-)
So now your saying I got a big butt? PFtt. An...Cue the video!
C'mon can't mention big assets an not see the video...
Sirscrapalot - The 'Phoenix Sun' did a list of the unsexiest men in the world, and I made it to number one. I beat out Bin Laden. He's a terrorist, hasn't bathed in months. I beat him out. To me it was a great honor. - Gilbert Gottfried
how did I know you guys would turn this into a dirty thing.....LOL
FL started it all!
She's a bad influence on me. We all know I'm the poster boy for innocent an saintly.
Sirscrapalot - FL is awesomesauce
Nice try, Sir, but we know who you really are...
Just wanted to say had a nice meeting with FLimits today. She ventured out to my island for two computers and left with three boxes of vintage equipment. One box was full of keyboards that we are hopefully both going to make out well on. Good people, very knowledgable and a pleasure to talk to.
I can say she is a top buyer here for those with vintage equipment to sell. Don't scrap it till you check with FLimits!!!!!!

Fixed that first part for ya buddy.
An told ya, she good people, one day you people will listen to me. My good people spidy senses assure me of this.
Ha!
Sirscrapalot - Will be harassing BC later.
Hey BC, thanks! It was a real pleasure to meet you and hang out. Thanks for letting me plunder your warehouse. I felt like a kid in a candy store -- although I'm still a little traumatized by the efficiency with which you gutted that little Pentium 4 computer.
And although it's always fun to find some interesting old computer stuff, it's even better to meet really good, smart people. That was the real highlight of my day.
In addition to the "OMG ITS GOLD BIN" I now have a " HOLY CRAP CALL FLimits BIN"
Side note- if anyone has a bin for SirS, not to save things for him but to put him in, PM me asap! Top dollar paid. Now where are those cement shoes, i just had them yesterday!!!!
You can't contain the awesome that is me BC.
Sirscrapalot - Being awesome, for those that can't be.
I have an old Atari 800 that I'm not sure what to do with. I also have a lot of games for it.
Hi Evan. Well, you should either enjoy playing with it or sell it and enjoy the cash! You could also hold onto it as a sort of investment, but in general I think there are other investments that would offer a greater (or more predictable) rate of return.
Are you currently an eBay seller? If so, you could list your Atari and games there. That's where you're likely to get the highest price for these items. If you decide that you want to sell it but aren't interested in putting it on eBay, let me know and I'll try to help you out. You can email me directly at the address I gave at the top of this thread.
Hello,
Are these worth anything?
Xero 8in floppy reader model #U07
Gateway 2000 4DX2-66V
I also have an IBM 5170 with keyboard and monitor that is at the auction house, if it doesnt sell Ill contact you about seeing if it is worth it to ship.
thanks
@mrsamsonite: Those are all nice! I'll send you a PM.
Kim,
I have one of those wierd old ATT phone things to hook you up to the internet.
Has two ear pieces to communicate through a standard phone, and a keyboard with one of the blue letter screens on it.
No idea what they are called, just crossed my mind so I thought I'd pass it along.
If I remember and end up in the garage later, I'll snap a picture.
Hi Jake.
Based on your description, it sounds as if that might actually be a TTY (teletypewriter) for communicating with the hearing- or speech-impaired. Does it look pretty much like this?
If so, then it's a TTY, or "text telephone." This device essentially works like a modem: It transmits and receives tones corresponding to the various keyboard characters, which it then displays as text on that little LED screen above the keyboard. Both callers have to use a TTY in order to communicate.
