OK, here it goes, HUGE LOTS that buyers on EBAY never picked up.
All located in Kokomo, Indiana(45 miles north of Indianapolis) Approximately 30(+/-) LC 520's in various shapes. Some complete, some
parted out. Hard drives in most, but not all. Keyboards for all, mice for
all. Linux machine? Networking capable? Email stations? 200(+/-) LC II, LC 475, LC, you know the pizza box machines. Been selling
the Ethernet cards from them, but most still have them inside. Most have
additional ram, 80mb hard drive. On a pallet, easy to load on a truck! Monitors: 14" all tested at one time 30 or so, on one pallet. 12/13"
monitors all tested 30 or so, on one pallet. 4 x 16-17" monitors. 2 x
15" SONY PC monitors. 52xx, 53xx, 54xx -- All In Ones various specs. Most have AV in/out, all
have ethernet. Pallet of the old printers. various laser printers in various conditions. Virtually all these computers were from school closeouts, sales etc.
Almost all have ethernet capable, and most in complete condition(not all).
Too much to list. Anyway, need to make room in warehouse. Numerous other things available
too. Keyboards, mice, localtalk connectors, etc.. Boxes of keyboards of all types(no USB, I did say old school) Have forklift so I can load on your truck, uhaul or roof of that VW Jetta of
yours. Anybody wanna buy everything? Probably take a semi to move it and I could
provide detailed list them. I'm talking tons of stuff, in very good shape.
Might be able to arrange shipping with moving company in same warehouse.
For the right person, you could sell this stuff and make some very good
money! I've been doing it and have made a nice chunk. Is it your turn?
Negotiate with me!! I don't want to deal with sending 1 or 2 items at a time. Been doing that. I want to sell $500 worth of stuff, trust me we can make a deal you can't
refuse. Heck, for $2500 I'll sell the whole lot to you, and there is a WHOLE LOT
THERE!! SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY. BDH

hmmmm.
First off my wife'd kill me.
Do you think this guy'd let me go cherry pick on a Saturday?

LOL! I have a full-sized Chevy Express van, so I could haul a bunch of 'em, but I'm 2,000 miles away--and my wife'd kill me, too! As it is the 'guest room' is occupied by my old 68Ks, not to mention my office. I suggested to the guy that he donate the lot to MacTreasures, which I understand provides old Macs to poor schools and other needy folk, but no response as yet. /Mr Lynn

Well, I'm only 175 miles away, but I can't bring in new machines. I thought some Powerbook supplies and maybe a monitor or 2 would be nice, but reality has gotten the better of me and I'm just going to pretend this guy doesn't have anything I'd like.

he wants one guy to come and get it.although, having 40 acres (OMG) I might be able to take (all) of them if you don't mind that they'll be sitting outside on the groung (I can find a tarp atleast) until I can get them a home... we have a semi trailer but it's already full of other junk  if any of you have a SEMI-truck and could pick me up... and then all we need is $2500 and we could drive around the country (and world ML5?) and deliver junk to people. I just want about 30 of at least one kind of machine.... the 6500 will make a great workgropu file server for them "Welcome to CoryLab" Official 68k videographer

As the seller says, if someone here were enterprising enough to pick up the whole lot, there might be an opportunity to make some money fixing up boxes or parting them out. Unless, of course, the seller has already cherry-picked the inventory. Then too, interest in this old stuff is diminishing--except of course amongst small groups of collectors, as here in the 68KMLA. The Internet and cheap hardware have really killed the market for old computers./Mr Lynn The dinosaurs became extinct because they didn’t have a space program.
