And there is still plenty to be cleared, if you are serious about visiting and taking as much as you can. All I have to do is make sure the property owner (and previous/current (?) owner) of the gear is comfortable with the visit.That is one amazing conquest! Glad to see you were able to give so many machines a new home!
I'm lucky to have an accepting wife. (As long as it stays in the basement.) :-DWell THAT backfired. I showed her and all it was was an opportunity for her to go on a rant about how much stuff I DO have. :-/ I just can't win.
lol

Hell no. This lot is staying Down Under if I've got anything to do with it. You guys have plenty!If only container transport from Australia to the US west coast were affordable ...
Sorry, nothing like that, but I'd probably hang onto it if I had. Good luck!Did you see any Outbound stuff in there?
Not sure if I'm insulted or chuffed?This is where the hobby gets way, way out of hand.
Well, you can always visit him, you know... It's a lot closer for you than me. If you're chasing something specific, let me know, you've helped me enough in the past!I would be speechless (or maybe not) walking into a haul like this, all ripe for the picking! Thanks for posting about your travels, and your wife truly deserves a medal. I've had (real) dreams about walking into something like this, and going through it all. Sad I know
Good luck in selling off the excess, take your time, spend a little while cleaning/fixing them up, it pays the bills. Certainly I'd be interested in a few bits & pieces, shout out!

Amen brother! How many times have I had to read about mega hauls over there? And how many over here? Yep, zip. About time something like that happened over here.Hell no. This lot is staying Down Under if I've got anything to do with it. You guys have plenty!
I knew there was a reason I wasn't married.Well THAT backfired. I showed her and all it was was an opportunity for her to go on a rant about how much stuff I DO have.

The main reason as to why vintage stuff is worth more here is because its harder to find. While Apple practically OWNED the Australian education market from the mid 1980's up until around the late 1990's, outside of the education, publishing and design industries, Macs were never really all that common, mostly because not only did they used to cost an absolute bomb back in the day, but also because up until around the time Apple Stores started opening up, Apple customer service here was....well....terrible. And the fact that most resellers couldn't have cared less didn't help much either.As a side note, Australia seems to be very pro Apple, judging by the new members on retromaccast over the years. Also, smartphone usage in Australia has the iPhone at around 70% of the market, but it is about half that in the US. Apple does well over here, and I've noticed the vintage stuff is worth more here as well.
