Hi Steve,

I have a working Snes with a couple of pads, a UK one. and also a few games with it. I would let it go for £60
 
@Spadge

The whole collection I would probably be looking at £4k.

a boxed working ZX80 unyellowed and with the upgrade rom and keyboard unfitted is worth £500+. An Apple Lisa can be worth thousands once repaired, this one is very rare as it's totally complete, an easy ebay sell at £700+, Commodore PET's go for £500+ and this one is the early 2001 with the chicklet keyboard all working. The boxed Apple II is worth in excess of £600 to a collector because it was one of the very very first in the UK by Eurapple. I think £4k is a cheap investment for someone to get this level of history.

@Sgt GrizZ I do have some of the Your 64 mags and maybe others, certainly don't have the tapes or discs they may have come with. Let's see if I can trade the whole collection first.

Apple Mac Cassic II
Apple Mac Colour Classic
Apple Mac IIfx
Apple Mac 9600 (Ex Nick Rhodes - Duran Duran)

Wonderswan Original boxed and mint
Vectrex
Nintendo Game & Watch - Donkey Kong

There's more.....
 
For the right deal I will also include....

PS4 Slim 1TB with at least 15 games
PSVR
Xbox One 1TB CoD special edition with at least 15 games
Nintendo Switch
 
and that's still not everything....

There are a handful of old Apple laptops, Psion Organisers, II, 3 and 5,

Will have to go up the Attic at some point
 
There are also multiples of a lot of the computers.

Multiple spectrums, commodore 64's 2 x 128's etc most work but also a great source of spares.
 
Maybe an idea to find a UK based vintage collectors forum and post something on that. You have some rare stuff - but I am not sure many people on here would shell out £4K for computers, when that could buy them a darn smart pinball!

I remember most of those computers coming out, if I kept programming when 'I was a kid' and did not discover guitars and/or women I think I would of been a lot better off financially! I think I have a couple of old magazines that I had ZX81 and Spectrum games published in (the old magazines you had to type in the whole programme).

Was never a commodore fan, preferred Sinclair and BBC micros. Can remember networking 4 BBC micros together in the final year of school when the teachers did not have a clue what I was doing. Great geeky times.
 
Game and Watch.... happy memories, they go for quite a bit now I think!

Our local toy/sports/model emporium stocked these at the height of the craze. I remember at the back of the shop they had loads of them on display...,, after school the place was rammed with over excited kids bashing the hell out of them.

Rather optimistically they had an honesty jar and you were supposed to pay 2p everytime you played !!! Hahahahaha, like that worked, kids would be like 2p in..... and I'll take that 10p out. Up yours grandad!


Occasionally the shop owner would lose his rag and turf the unruly mob out!

Great times to be a kid [emoji4]
 
Fantastic collection. I've thought about selling trading/selling my retro games stuff for pinball but I'm just too attached to it all
 
Wow, I had a dragon 32 when I was a kid and a game and watch pinball hehe dunno where they went... I still have my Casio soccer watch !
 
Amazing collection. You must keep them. Only get rid of any doubles you have.

I can't remember what happened to my zx spectrum 48k, Vic20 or Commodore 64. I still have all my games consoles starting from the NES and the MSX with some great konami games. Always wanted a Amiga or a Atari ST.

I would be interested in your game and watch games..I had Donkey Kong which I loaned but never got back :-( while tidying the other day I found the empty box..

Yeah I know I'd regret. It. I have 70 odd boxed SNES games and a similar number of NES and Mega Drive games. They've become so valuable but the idea of selling them... Not sure I could pull the trigger
 
I've wondered about this for a while with my retro games. Prices are ridiculous now but will they plateau/crash. Guess there's some cross over there with Pinball
