The most unusual item in my collection (that I can think of) is a Franklin Ace 2100 Apple IIe clone, with its original keyboard and monochrome monitor w/stand. No one I know has one (or even gives a crap about classic computing at all, for that matter.)
I found it on the side of the road a few years back, along with a VTech Laser 128 Apple IIc clone.

Ok, so I recently put out an ad on Craigslist, seeking out old computers & video games -- and I got this Commodore VIC-20 haul:
Complete system in retail box w/book
C2N Datassette recorder w/manual
And a bunch of games & programs:
Draw Poker, Mole Attack, Home Babysitter, Raid on Fort Knox, Cosmic Cruncher, Pinball Spectacular, Choplifter, Spiders of Mars (FACTORY SEALED!), Jupiter Lander, Money Decisions I, Super Amok (FACTORY SEALED!), The Sky is Falling, VIC Avenger, and Dot Gobbler.
All games were boxed w/manual, with the exception of Dot Gobbler (which is probably the rarest of the lot), and a couple of tapes containing random programs. One was marked "VIC Games" -- this oughtta be fun (if it still works after all these years.)
I got all this stuff for FREE -- the guy who responded said he wanted it to go to a good home, and he couldn't bring himself to "dumpster-ize" it.
