Opinion please...
Does anyone think it is worth my while trying to sell any of these old bits
on EBay... PCI Hauppauge Win/TV card PCI S3 Trio/Virge 2Mb (Maybe 4Mb) graphics card ISA Sound Blaster 16 card ISA Sound Blaster AWE 64 card ISA Teletext card 486 Motherboard with DX2/50 chip and some (not sure - maybe 4 or 8 MB) RAM. 4x SCSI CD writer with SCSI controller card + cables External 56k voice/fax speakerphone modem Trust Spycam - webcam 1.7Gb Fujitsu HD 850MB WD HD 6.4GB Maxtor HD Do you think they would sell, or would I be wasting my time - too old to be of any use to anyone! |

I'm still using most of those things, but I wouldn't pick any of them up for over a buck or so. Some may be needed by some to keep old machinery rolling, i.e. under 8G HDs that don't hang the bios. A 486 with ISA cards is very handy for running embedded machinery, such as programmers, etc. Better to advertise your location and make them free to a good home, assuming you want to declutter. -- Chuck F ) ) Available for consulting/temporary embedded and systems. http://cbfalconer.home.att.net USE worldnet address! |

Most of the parts aren't worth shipping cost alone. You could try selling the whole "box" full, not setting a minimum price. Someone might pay $20 for the WinTV card alone, but it's just a guess, find what similar offerings are selling for. |

External 56k voice/fax speakerphone modem People still need these. You might get something for it. Trust Spycam - webcam Depends on quality of image etc. 1.7Gb Fujitsu HD Waste of time. 850MB WD HD Waste of time. 6.4GB Maxtor HD $5.00 for this. -- Regards, .. |

The general concensus was that it would be a waste of money listing them on Ebay, but they are having a free listing day, so I have listed these items if anyone is interested! I didn't bother with the hard disks as posting them would probably break them - any advice here? There used to be a way to 'park heads' on a hard disk, so it could be transported - can this still be done? |

Head automatically park on drives that age, they might survive if packed in a lot of foam, 2+ inches around all sides and/or bubble wrap. New drives survive shipping so older should be ok too unless they were half in the grave already. |
