SELLING MY VINTAGE LAPTOP COLLECTION

#1 Post by Khipata » Tue Jun 06, 2017 10:24 am

I am starting listing my collection on eBay. Here is a link:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/-/252977304517? ... RK:MESE:IT

Feel free to bid confidently, that is my new SELLING account.
There will be FREE SHIPPING for forum members in the Continental USA and deep shipping discounts anywhere in the world. If auction is won, shipping will be refunded for USA forum members.

Since it is a new account, there is a maximum listing limit but it will soon be lifted and I can post more items, eventually my WHOLE collection.

I feel bad for you and if I could I would give you a million for all those machines so you could pay your medical bills and get your collection back. Unfortunately I can't buy those machines at those prices. I wish you the best of luck with the auction. Just I want you to do one thing. Keep one machine, clean it up to the best of your ability and make it your own as best as you can as a memory of all that help you :) .

Just make sure there is that one laptop you have for when you want to plop down and play doom without emulation, write without a bad keyboard, or just remember what good thinkpad owners who recieve your machines and keep good care of them.

Sounds like the machine I just got, see in pictures of your thinkpad. My HP Compaq Nx. Btw, where did you find the 750P nib?

Sorta similar on how for 200$ I got a mint condition IBM PC 5150. Someone in north NJ had a machone they wanted to get rid of but thry treated it like it was their child. 30 years under a dust cover has really protected it. The biggest flaw is a tiny red spec on keyboard. Came with software and monitor and everything. That 75lbs dot matrix printer was a DRAG to bring in the house. I had to put the monitor in a seatbelt there was so much stuff.

You should either change the Tbilisi, Georgia location in your eBay account, or create a new eBay account with location Arlington - VA, USA and post your items there.
Personally I wouldn't like this kind of eBay info:

International items may be subject to customs processing and additional charges.

Item location: Tbilisi, Georgia

Ships to: Worldwide
Delivery: Estimated between Mon. Jul. 24 and Wed. Aug. 9
This item has an extended handling time and a delivery estimate greater than 14 business days.
Please allow additional time if international delivery is subject to customs processing.

Thanks for your suggestion. I will make some changes definitely. BUT:
All my items are in USA, so no international hassle for US buyers.
BTW, it is my spouses account and she convinced me to sell my collection on ebay (faster funds for my treatment) and she is overseas, so changing account is out of question :)
As for buyers outside of USA, shipping and other issues will be negotiated on case by case basis for now.
I have very little experience of selling, as I am a collector and not a merchant and to be honest, do not want to be one :) It's just life which is forcing me to sell my precious computers but I guess a man has to do what he has to do...

P.S. Yes, originally I am from Georgia, but not from Tbilisi, which is a capital. I am from KUTAISI, 3500 years old and second largest city in my country of origin :)

I'll gladly take a keyboard from an existing 760 if you got one from a nonworking spare unit in your collection. Mine has a few dead keys, unfortunately.

Otherwise, it's WTB threads for me!
