Thanks  Initially I started collecting every make but that was too much work and I couldn't see an end. I might do it again if someone here wants to put together a collector's guide for the other manufacturers... I also prefer EPROMs (like the CPUShack) over CPUs although my most valued chips are CPUs but that is only because they are worth more $$$.
I am hoping to make my site a lot more ludicrous here real soon  My goal is to have at least one version of every chip that Intel produced in the 1970s. That would make my collection worth probably close to what I spent on it

Hmm, I offer the forum at cpu-collection.de as a service for others, not for promoting my site or to get visitors. Visitors on my main site are quite different from the ones on my forum, I think this is the same here, I visit the forum here about 3-6 times a week, the main site about once in 2 months or so. And despite the activity on my forum is decreasing the number of visits to my main site is increasing (~1.3 Mio. hits / 20000 visits a month).
I don't care much about getting visitors to my forum, since I have less work checking new messages here and there. That's also why I dislike the idea of opening another forum - though I do understand the language issue, which, on the other hand, will gimme a lot more work to check all relevant forums when I will have to use translation software.

Well, even site owners have a real life. Grampa graduated from university last year and now has a job that takes a lot of his time. And I also have a job that forces me to travel a lot, sometimes I spend several weeks working in foreign countries. And we both have girlfriends...
Don't get this as an excuse, there is nothing to say sorry for. We don't offer 24/7 service (unless we get paid for it ;-) and answering all mails and requests from site visitors takes a lot of time - I guess Genna could also tell a long tale about that.

As a forum moderator I don't have any advantages over other forum members. Everybody who checks the forum often enough has a better chance than me to be the first who finds sale deals or trade list updates.

Forums do help to bring more visitors to a site, but this only works for well established forums and sites. For example, search for "Intel C4040" - you'll see that the fifth result links to cpu-museum.de forum.

I disagree with you. Not everybody knows the English language, so the sites and forums in native language help to get other people interested in CPU collecting. So, if site owner wants to add a forum to hist site then why not?

EXACTLY - what if the site mods on here suddenly get less time to answer queries and maintain the site. |

Only once did I lay one of my cpus out in a computer exhibition... that was last year. And guess what? It got stolen. And the precious piece was a Soviet K580IK80 (i8080) white ceramic/golden NOS in a planar package. I've only seen three of them in my life. One is still in my posession and another one (though a resoldered one) has been sold on ebay couple of weeks ago for more than $100.
So beware.

My dad told me that locks keep an honest person honest. If there is nothing between someone and your valuables then most likely they won't be yours for long.
I would love to go to a computer show and show off my collection but I have been ripped off more times than I care to admit and so I am a lot more cautious these days.
I hope who ever stole your chip got hit by a bus on his way home
