Who is the next done with CPUs collecting?

[iguana]

Definitely a whole collection is listed at ebay.
imho nothing really rare there but several not so common chips.
Anyway it is a pity that someone sales a whole collection.
Is he(she) from cpu-world forum?

Im not so sure its an actual collection as I see many many duplicates.... But I suppose it could be.

I doubt it is a " collection " being sold off.

[iguana]

Probably you are right

[Neon_WA]

where this one is probably is

[CPUShack]

I went through it ad I am guessing about $600 in chips, so a bit high of a price. but not a bad starter set

After ebay and paypal fees I think its ok.

Is it a collector here?

This collector lives near St. Louis, Mo and I sent him an Ebay message suggesting he offer his chips to members here, since finding a beginning buyer who will part with 750$ for the whole collection may be difficult.

...So do I get dibs on the Rapid-Cad and the 487sx?

I live in St. Louis, but the seller is not me.

Hi,

I am the seller of this auction. I've posted on here, and sold a few things in the past, but I don't really consider myself a CPU collector. I am a vintage PC enthusiast, so all of my pieces are x86.

I normally don't sell anything for more than $200 on eBay, but I think you guys are correct in that while $700 is not entirely unreasonable for what I have, not too many people are going to drop that on an auction.

I will consider breaking this up into smaller lots, or selling individually if I can get $500 minimum. Maybe you guys can help me figure out how to sell it off? The last time I sold CPUs here, I just had everyone send me an offer for the piece they wanted, and I sold to whoever gave me the best price. Would that be an appropriate way to handle it?
