Re: Dumping inventory
lemswap but not Facebook low end mac which is for displaying finds, bragging rights. ebay, of course, for the complete machines, special parts. It's tedious, but you might be able to sell some newbus cards and Mac II ethernet adapters & cards on ebay as well as lemswap. Hint: sell it cheap on lemswap! For complete machines, maybe some Thrift stores. We have a local /*habitat warehouse*/ that claims it will take anything not sold by thrift stores, which sell mostly clothes, furniture, kitchenware, TVs, etc. The */habitat /**/R/**/estore/*, though, won't take it. Then not so probable, try local online yard sales. There are quite a few on Facebook now. Antique stores? My port of last resort is to recycle starting with the local computer store which does recycling but I bet that they cherry-pick stuff because I see old things for sale in their store! Then, that failing, there's the county recycling center which takes almost any electronics and turns them over to people who either fix and resell or salvage the pieces and parts. If you should find someone who wants to buy and warehouse your lot or even just take care of it and pick it up, please let me know and I will do the same for you. I am in the same situation.

Other than Fleabay, not really. It’s not so much for selling, but when you’re down to the stuff you just want gone, try Freecycle https://www.freecycle.org Founded right here in Tucson :-) -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

The System Suitcase. Yes, that’s actually the official means of re-blessing the System folder, now I recall. I only ever had that happen once or twice though; more often than not the issue was a corrupted System or boot volume. It was SO much nicer when OSX came along with a much more solid OS base; the old OS had pretty much reached the point of total collapse under the weight of all the kludges. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

IIRC, sometime a system folder can be re-blessed by simply removing he System then putting in back into the Sys folder..

Disk with question mark is ‘I cannot find a bootable volume’ Either dead drive, or boot sectors are messed up.
