Score today!!! Heck yes!!!

So, not only did I get paid over $325 to take a trailer full of burn wood and soot, but my client (him and his church give me a ton of money once every 1 to 2 months), tell me he has computers and electronics in the back of his enclosed trailer.

I take a quick look before we start to work. I see 3 towers and misc computer parts.

I get home, and all of it minus the towers, is brand new, and I have 4 pieces of old "vintage" stuff.

Can anyone give me an idea of value on any of it?



This is a General Electric CB Radio. I found one on ebay without the mic that sold for $35...



Found a few open PCI cards



Brand new in the box! all original packaging etc



When I saw this I was like "cool a motherboard" and then when I saw this (see below)



I was like "HELL YES!!!" (this is my 2nd one of these so far!



This is a brand new ethernet card that I removed from the package to show you what it looks like.



This is also brand new, and strangely missing the pc chip?

But if you look closely you see another intel i486 ic chip, which sucks since I have a HARD time removing them! lol



The board above came out of this box.



Brand new PCI card.



This is the box for the PCI card right above it.

New floppy drive.



Brand new HP CD Writer.



Old Toshiba Laptop



Working Cannon Scanner



2 of the 3 PC towers and an old tape player



Another pic of tape players

Thanks man. The top cassette player, has a CMB in it that is bigger than both of my fists combined! lol

I didnt tear into it, but I could see it from the tiny holes in the machine.

Yup, everything except for 2 pci cards was all in original packaging, plastic, paperwork, etc.

I am home tomorrow so I will be researching and getting an idea on value and then see if it will be worth on ebay.

congrats........looks like sum ebay material

Do you even know what the betamax tape player as you call it even is?

My dad still has 3-4 betamax machines in his house so he can watch his old movies. As I assume Terry knows Beta was a far better quality than VHS.

Nice score, its like treasure hunting. Mike.

Yeah, some of it, I am sure will be indeed. Going to be doing research in a little bit.

Not at all. I just know what it says on the front.

I was just surprised that a lot of it had never been used before.

My client said that a member of the Church had passed on and he was a into computers. His wife had asked him to get it cleaned out, and so he asked me if I wanted it.

I took it all except for 2 TV's, because he said he was going to take them somewhere that would take them. So I figured I let him do that, instead of me gutting them and taking the rest to the landfill.

Forgot to include the below picture. It has everything with it, but I do believe the battery recharger is broken.

Not sure if it will be worth anything now.

So unless I am not searching right, only saw one of the pc components that is selling right now on ebay.

Better news is, that the betamax cassette players sell pretty well on there, so that should be good.

GEO the betamax is like a VHS only beter. But do to its cost it didnt take off. They are pretty rare these days. Specialy if you have one thats like new.

Well I have no idea on how "new" this one is. I plugged it in, and it turned out, and everything seems to work.

Cosmetically, no scratches, or wear and tear.

The guy who used to own it all was really into electronics or something, according to what I was told.

The couple that I saw on ebay, sold pretty nice. Didn't see the exact one that I have, but I listed it anyway.

If it doesnt sell, I will try locally. I just dont want to break it down.
