 Posted: Mon Jul 01, 2013 8:45 am Post subject: Thinning out my collection |
 |
|
Over last few months I have decided where I want my collection to end up.
At present it occupies 50sqm of warehouse and I want to reduce this down to something more manageable
So over next few months will be listing items as I get the time
As postage from Australia can be expensive for a single item, I will say that anyone that wins/buys any of my items contact me with a few other items you are chasing that I will probably have.

have started with some rare proms, eproms Nexgen & AMD samples

50 sqm? That's commitment! (Or should I say, you should be committed!)

What CPUs are you most interested in collecting?
Did a quick tally and looks like I have over 15K.. many of the more common I will end up selling in lots rather than selling individually due to cost shipping out of Australia

I had originally decided on sticking with Intel processors 1970-2000, as I already had one expensive hobby, and was trying to stop this one turning into another money pit
As it turned out, after occasionally buying a few mystery lots I started to acquire some AMD's, Intel clones and server CPU's. I guess I kinda like some of the older clones and older Server CPU's so will try and acquire them if possible, whereas I don't particularly go out looking for AMD's.
Thanks to a number of guys on these forums I have been able to fill a number of holes in my collection so far in a relatively short time, which is pretty cool.
Nevertheless, 15,000 CPU's is quite an astonishing number! |

LOL mine used to be 200 sq m but I thinned it down to about 10sq m a few years back when I sold my building.
I hate to tell you where most of it ended up

Did you managed collecting over 15K chips in 5 years? Awesome!
I'm struggling to grow up my collection to 1K. This is my first milestone. |
