Re: [vcf-midatlantic] OT: time to downsize
I’ve finally gone through all the old Apple “i“-devices I’ve accumulated, but I haven’t listed them on the website as they definitely don’t fit the “vintage” moniker. That being said, perhaps some of you might also collect these or want them for parts/nostalgia? There are a couple of 1st gen iPads, a 1st gen iPad mini, various iPods, and a handful of iPhone 5 and 6 phones. Drop me an email if you want any more details. And still plenty of other stuff left - although I’ve been slowly selling off bits and pieces on eBay. - Bob Shuster
I've been regularly marking the sold and sale pending items, thank you guys so much! And once again - many thanks to those who have adopted some of my babies so far. Please let me know if I can clarify anything or if any more photos are needed.

Please don't share without asking me. Currently just open to this group - my contact info is intentionally missing from the webpages. If you can read this, you have my email.
Email me with questions or offers! Please don't make offers on the list, but if you want to discuss my process and feel the group would benefit, then by all means knock yourself out! :)

(Original message below) ---- Well, folks, I've gotten to the age where I need to seriously downsize my hobbies and collections, not wanting to leave it to my children to have to deal with in later years. (I had to do that recently for a relative.) On the electronics side, I've decided to concentrate on my vintage video game systems - and therefore sell off most of my vintage computer stuff. My collection includes mostly 8-bit stuff: TRS-80 Models I, IV, M100, etc. - Atari 400, 800, Portfolio, ST, etc. - C64/VIC20 - T/S1000 (including an unbuilt kit), Apple II, II+, IIe, IIe Platinum, IIgs - Wang WLTC - Mattel Aquarius - TI-99/4A - many others that I still have to dig out - plus lots of peripherals, disks, manuals, etc. Also have some newer Macs starting with a Mac Plus in an Apple carrying bag.
I'm starting with you guys before trying to list elsewhere, although I may hit some of the dedicated FaceBorg pages (such as for Aquarius and Apple II.) I'm willing to ship some of the smaller items, but in general systems or monitors will need to be picked up here (near the Fort Washington exit of the PA Turnpike) or nearby, and cash or PayPal for payment. I may also consider trades for some of the video game stuff I'm looking for.
It pains me to do this, but the clutter is getting out of hand, and I haven't touched most of these in years. It's time for someone else to enjoy.

Another update: I added a bunch to the Ephemera page, including some 80s Radio Shack kits (including a very neat Microcomputer Trainer!) and I’ve also started going through the tons of cables I have. I probably won't list those on the webpages anywhere, but I will bring to the June swap meet. Includes serial, parallel, VGA, DVI, ethernet, FireWire, ribbon, and sata cables, plus a bunch of adapters. Yes, I am coming to the June 22 swap meet and have paid for two spaces! If you want to reserve something please contact me off-list! (Oh, and I’ll be up in Edison this Saturday for BrickFest, so I could potentially meet someone there if you want something.) Take a glance at the pages again if you haven't in a while (original spiel below.) I am vigilant about marking sold items off, so if something is still listed as available, it's available! I’ve been slowly selling off bits and pieces on eBay, but still a lot left. - Bob Shuster

I still have plenty of stuff left, and other than the swap meet and a few items sold on ePay, there’s still a lot. I’ve tried to make my asking prices reasonable (and you most certainly may disagree with this!) but they are just that - asking prices. I am definitely open to offers and I’m motivated because I really need to make room! If you haven’t looked in a while won’t you please take another look? I’m just northwest of Philadelphia near the Fort Washington exit of the PA Turnpike. Drop me an email if you have any questions about anything! (Btw, I’m having an awful time with emails being bounced - I’ve been trying to send this to the list for more than a week! The issue seems to be Cloudfilter . net …) Thanks for looking (again)! - Bob

It’s been a minute, but I still have plenty left. Take a look at the webpages and please make me an offer - I promise I won't be insulted! ;) I keep the pages current as I sell stuff off on eBay and elsewhere, so if it’s not marked sold it’s still available. Link: http://theshusters.com/bobvintage.html Notable items remaining: some Mac systems (1995-2001), Atari 800, Wang WLTC, assorted SCSI devices and drives, ZIP drives, TRS-80 Model I and a very nice 128K NGA Model 4, Coco 2, TI-99/4A, CRTs and flat-panel monitors, lots of blank floppies 5-1/4 and 3.5, and lots more. The pages are not super-well organized so make sure to look through. I’m just northwest of Philadelphia near the Fort Washington exit of the PA Turnpike.
