191202 Classic equipment available & my bad year.
Hi, made a number of updates to the sale pages on my site, and brought back a copy of my commercial site (good for downloads). Unfortunately I screwed up the .html pages and lost some links. Should all me fixed now. Added an FAQ some more parts (eg: 8008 CPI for MOD8), some sample pricing (please see FAQ before complaining). If you've looked at the site before, do refresh each page as you go to it as many browers cache page and will happily show you the old one. http://www.classiccmp.org/dunfield/sale/index.htm Dave

I'm glad you're on the mend dave. If I was anywhere near ottowa I'd be trying to get some of your stash. On 11/8/19, 3:10 PM, "cctalk on behalf of Dave Dunfield via cctalk" wrote: Hello Everyone.

Re: Classic equipment available & my bad year.
Dave, sorry to hear about your situation. Regarding system/parts/etc. selling prices, I use something called TeraPeak. It is available on a subscription basis with the downside that it is now part of Ebay... I quit them in 2015 with no current plans of ever having anything to do with them, but is still the best way I've found to get pricing on what sells and how much. It normally has the actual selling price as opposed to the "asking" price on the main listing. Because the prices on TeraPeak are the actual selling prices inflated by the eBay fees and "free" shipping, I generally reduce them by around 20% - 30% to get realistic pricing (rare items excepted.) Another what appears to be similar service is Worthpoint. Although I've looked at it, I have never actually used it. Like you, I had plans of starting a museum and thus have stuff that I haven't been able to find pricing information using either TeraPeak or Google. That would include rare terminals (i.e. Hazeltone, ), some computers (Philips word processors, Wang, etc.), documentation (IBM, Burroughs, a variety of printers, etc.) and a lot of other "stuff" (including some of the stuff you have listed.) How many people have heard of DMA Systems? Since I live in Santa Barbara where a number of computer, software, peripheral were made, I decided to keep anything made in the Santa Barbara and still have plans for a museum dedicated to what was made here. That is something you might find possible in your area. Another thing I'm "collecting" is anecdotes about computer collecting in the Santa Barbara area. Two examples are where how the name Pickles and Trout came about, and Lobo drives being named after Roger Billings (formerly Production manager at Polymorphic) pet wolf, etc. You might also consider writing a book documenting some of the knowledge you acquired about computers, etc. In any case, it sounds like you are well on your way to recovery. So my best to you and your family during this recovery period! Marvin Thanks to everyone for the kind words on my situation. Had lots of correspondence from various people interested in certain systems, but no offers, and very little information on what people think they are worth. Many of these systems are very old, very rare and nearly impossible to acquire. As I am no longer working I want to maximize what I receive from them. I will be researching this over the next year and will add prices if/when I work them out. If price is unknown I will take the highest reasonable offer, so I cannot offer systems now without an idea of what they are worth to you.
Re: Classic equipment available & my bad year.
Amazing story and thank you for sharing that with us. I can't count the number of times I've ended up on your site for archiving disk info. I still have my partially but never completed floppy connectors that I need to back up some 8" media. All the best wishes and luck to you and your family! - John On Fri, Nov 8, 2019, 4:20 PM Dave Dunfield via cctalk wrote: > Hello Everyone. > > I have had a major health incident which means that I have been > unresponsive > for several months.

Re: Classic equipment available & my bad year.
Dave, That is a remarkable story. I am glad you are on the mend but sad to hear of your disposing of your remaining collection. Your website has been a regular resource for me personally and I have enjoyed seeing your virtual collection immensely as a Canadian collector. I wish you the best in your further recovery.
