Looking for a gem (CPU) without smoking me out

[Theron]

Hi everyone,
Hey, I won a little money on the slot machines this weekend (thanks to the blitz-bonus I got), and I thought it was time to splurge on my collection. I've got my eye on a few rare old processors, but the prices on eBay are crazy right now. Do you guys know of any reliable sellers who aren't charging crazy prices? I don't want to blow all my winnings on a worn-out chip just because the guy put “rare” in the title. If you know of any more “underground” places to find good stuff without getting ripped off, I'm all ears..

A lot of members of this forum maintain lists of chips they are willing to sell or trade https://www.cpu-world.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=256

Otherwise, you can keep an eye on the for sale section of this forum for the things that come up for sale every few days.

We also have a Want to Buy section where you can list what you want and people with spares can message you with offers.
