- WOW!!! LOOK!!! VINTAGE 486 RETRO MACHINE - Only $2000!!! - Buy this now, these are becoming very very very rare,, it even has the uber rare 486 DX-33 CPU, and 8MB of very rare 72 pin Memory! Act now and I'll throw in a copy of ZZT I downloaded off of 386page.com!! I don't even know what the brand is, all I know is it's collectable.

- Vintage IBM XT System - $50.00 - Just the system unit only, I don't even know if it even works, all I know is I turn it on and it sounds like a leaf blower with bad bearings, so I guess that means it works, who knows what's on the hard drive. Shipping is $99.00, oh, and I 'll throw in a CD-ROM full of freeware utilities for DOS, I'm sure it'll work with that funny looking CD-ROM onn the front.

i've met people like that, my cousin's daugter stuck her cd im my 5.25 floppy drive and tried to play it. didn't work tooo well

eBay has its uses. Good deals not being one of them.

I use ebay, forums, thrifts, email lists, irc, freecycle, craigslists, etc to find things. One persons junk is another persons treasure. Quite a few items I collect are kind of niche items (isa/nubus video capture cards for one) and they don't turn up at thrifts, but they do on ebay.
