Welcome to Boardsort™ - Learn - Sell - Profit -

It's kinda sad to destroy a bunch of complete computers from the 90's,
just for the little bit of gold inside, don't ya think?
Here's someone a chance to buy them before I destroy the rest.
But something tells me you all are not the EBAY selling types. lol

What do you have and were are you at ? I may buy a few things if the price is right. I'm also looking for some higher end stuff from the mid 00s too. would love to get a nice nf4 or 5 or 790i motherboard and a pair of GX2's or 7900gtx's too. but as for 90s stuff I would buy any system is a overtly large, think ALR server big or anything I could use for a kick ass ms-dos and 9x gaming PC that I could put my Quantum3D Obsidian 100SB in to.

Sorry, I keep getting logged out
I think I recognize the nf4. I might have took it apart night before last.
I have an Asus, Soyo still in the box. I have
A7N8X-E Deluxe Nividia nForce 2 Ultra 400
SY-KT600 Dragon Plus v1.0
Chaintech STK600
ECS KT600
He got them in 2005
There's 500 watt XConnect Power Supplys never been opened
Air and cooled heatsinks. New hardrives.
He had a lot the 1990's computers DeskPro and 300GL's I just took apart a Laser 386, Vectra, Vtech
Bose speakers 201', 301, 901's, Sansui XP750's

NF4 is nforce4. what asus and soyo and what NF4 board do you have?

Disks and instructions
He had opened them made note in bottom corner that they tested good and has the date.
He passed 6 years today and I'm on here destroying perfectly good electronics.
I fired up one of the 300GL's last night.
I hope this is ok to do this.
I have a feeling they are gonna put these computers right back together,
minus 1 component off of each board. lol
I'd rather sell it all at one time for one price.
This would have been great for an EBAY seller.
I'll be back in a day or two.

The A7N8X-E is more than worth selling if it works, KT600 boards are hit or miss for selling, most of them are going to have bad caps and most folks rather have a nforce 2 or KT880 board so you're not getting a whole lot more than scrap prices. The 500w psu is worth a try to sell but finding a buyer would be hard but I may buy it for the right price if its the green one or has 2 6 pin PCIe power cables.

compaq DeskPro and IBM 300GL? I'm sure you could sell those on ebay or VCFED.org rather fast https://forum.vcfed.org/index.php?forum ... -trade.40/ or you could go to one of VCFED events and sell them. nether the DeskPro 300Gl would likely fit my Obsidian 100SB so I would pass on them.

You're not wrong. The trick is finding anyone who's interested in it beyond scrap.

My grades are my own opinion and not an official grade from Boardsort

indeed. doesn't help with how cranky the retro tech community has become, most everyone will gripe about us scrappers but also don't like us coming along and trying to sell or giveaway stuff on their forums and communities and some sites/groups going as far to not let anyone sell stuff at allm. and worse is how most of the vintage/retro computers sites are ran but some rather not so nice folks to say the least.

Wile people into vintage computers are out there and willing to buy, places to sell stuff is limited to a select few sites like amibay, vcfed and ebay. amibay and vcfed don't just allow you to walk in and sell stuff and a lot of folks in the retro computer hobby tend to gripe about ebay. so finding buyers can be hard.

@NoWaistedSpace there's a fella on youtube, mike tech, he buys bulk e waste and computer lots, he might be worth contacting too if you want to sell everything at once.
