Collectable items I'm looking for

Background

I collect “retro” or “vintage” computers, video game systems, and electronics. I’m always on the lookout for good deals or to simply help someone to clear out their attic.

• Want to avoid the hassle of shipping?
• Or the costs associated with shipping, eBay, and payment processors?
• Have an item that holds sentimental value that you want to make sure ends up in a collector’s home who will appreciate it and restore it to its former glory?

Then I hope you will consider working with me in getting your item(s) into a good home.

What I’m looking for, generally:

Please reach out to me if you have any of the following specific items in the list below. These items are for my own collection; I do not ask for duplicates (with the exception of accessories like keyboards and monitors, of course) and I do NOT resell these listed items!! The one exception is if you are offering me a bin or lot something like games or accessories. I may list duplicate items for a fair price on Facebook Marketplace or offer them to other local collectors for free.

I am also willing to consider as-is or untested systems depending on the visible condition of the unit and whether or not I’m looking for spare parts.

If you’re looking to generally re-home other old electronics such as computers, CRT TV’s or monitors, game systems and games, or audio equipment, I’m happy to take them. Don’t give them to a place like Goodwill - they won’t know what to do with them. Any general lots like this I will sort through. Whatever I don’t keep will be sold or shared with other local collectors. Half of any proceeds will be donated to the local non-profit Kennett Classic Computer Museum. I want to make sure we’re supporting our local community - not large national entities!

Special note: Please also be sure to check out my “Unobtainium” list. These items are not just on the list because they are rare and valuable, but because they mean something to me. There are stories behind why I want them. I’m willing to negotiate way more on terms to acquire the items. Even sharing leads or information is appreciated. And I’m always happy to share my stories.

Where I’m willing to travel:

I am located near West Grove, PA in Chester County. I am willing to travel 20-40 miles for most systems. Typically on Fridays or the weekend. For certain special items, I may consider traveling further, especially if you’re willing to meet me along the way.

How I handle payment:

I will only meet at public facilities that are open on the day of the transaction. I will use Paypal, Venmo, CashApp, or Apple Pay. I can pay cash for items less than $100. I will never carry more than $100 cash on me, sorry!

Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to our transactions!
