 Posted: Thu Apr 29, 2021 4:30 am Post subject: Chips from NASA |
 |
|
Hi all,
I have source of many vintage stuff and everything comes from old NASA engineer who had sticky hands long time ago. I have no idea how much it can be worth. Also no idea about most of them because of no markings.
Can you help me to estimate what is this?
I have around 60pcs but can be much more if needed.
More detailed photos

| Just put it on ebay, that will decide how much people are willing to pay but I would not list it as Nasa because you cant prove it and it could just as easily be Military hardware. Good luck |

Most of them are unfinished chip packages. Several collectors in here are likely to be interested in them. I would wait for advice from established members on what they are worth, then sell them in our for sale area.

They may have zero value to you, but they may be worth $5 or $10 each to someone else. They do sell here, so must have some value, even if not huge value.

Im being honest with the guy, just because its worth x amount to you or others on here they can sell for a lot on ebay. Im just being honest with him aince he wanted to know, thats why theres no real value. Simply stating there worth x is just inaccurate.
These would most likely be worth a lot less on ebay since there is less gold by being unfinished but you never know collectors stalk gold auctions on ebay, thats were I find all my good deals. Right now theres a Mechanical Sample for a Intel Pentium 60mhz that was listed yest. Only 8 cpus But the price is $56 already.
These chips could be worth a lot more, I miss a lot of auctions due to being in the hospital. You miss took my response, its hard to place a value on anything unless its sells all the time for a given price. A couple single auctions sold a month back, one $20ish and another $56 which was marked Northrop Grummann.
Ill always be honest with someone because more times than not the seller will cut me a deal for being honest. |

I was the high bidder on this lot for a couple of days and then it just disappeared from ebay today... I guess he got an offer that he thought was more than the auction would have netted him., oh well LOL...

| That's annoying, I had it on my watch list. Most people use snipers these days and the price will increase near the end of the auction. But now he has shot himself in the foot because nobody will buy from an unreliable seller. |

Even though it's dishonest, some sellers just lie to ebay to enable them to get the ebay system to end the auction by saying that the item has broken, or something like that.
But this seller and ones like them are foolish, because myself or someone else might have easily ended up bidding more than the person who he sold the lot to paid him for it.

Before we judge him I think the problem is in eBay system. He was newbie with 0 feedback and fresh registered account SO eBay could removed his listing and block account for no reason.
I was trying to open another eBay account to bypass limit of free listings per month. See a result looking for abc_cpu, abccpu  Just after verify and put and auction they blocked me with removing listings from new account.
I see that his listing has been completely removed. If he just would end listing we could still see it as ended with reason shown.

good call Marcin,
I re-set up a US ebay a few days so I could ship to Avicc again...
bought a few small things
then 2 days later EBay De-Registered me & said I had No recourse or appeal
Also blocked me from contacting the sellers about items I bought
so had to use my Oz account to contact each one.. well nearly.. they only allow me to contact 5 sellers a day, so the 6th I will have to contact tomorrow.
Means less $$ for them as now I can't do any impulse buying lol & will have to use Avicc's bidding service.

Stu, sorry to hear that you had same bad experience as me. I don't know what happen to eBay. No way to appeal as you wrote. They verify with PayPal, bank and whatever you choose and then BAN. They don't want our money or they trying to be restricted place like sect without no new members ?
