Sell it on eBay and buy a second house.

Indeed. This doesn't cover the Atari collection. . I'm just glad I didn't pay the silly prices of this stuff today otherwise there wouldn't be such a collection. Don't know if you noticed the ZX Spectrum's actually are in their original posted boxes including one has an original address. I wonder if the person is still around

That's a job once settled in the new house. I have checked it out and it's hanging in there. This was another car boot find at £25 and even came with an M1230XA inside

The A500 I did catch in time with the RTC battery that had started to leak.

Finally got a moving date and started packing the lair yesterday and it’s taking a long time to pack with all the parts, systems and electronics.

I came across an old T-Mobile MDA (Windows CE phone) which powered up. Also an old Nintendo DS which I found pictures the kids had taken of themselves when they had got hold of it whilst I wasn’t looking many years ago. Great fun in sending them the pics to embarrass them, that’s a dad's role in life

That's great news @Icky glad to hear yourmove is happening at last, hope it all goes smoothly

Where is the other 100 Atari boxes ??

Ahh, boxpocalypse how I miss you. NOT

Still doing the opposite and suffering from all the dust in my workshop boxes that came from the old house. Can't stop sneezing!!

Good news. I look forward to seeing the retro-techno-stable in action.

A whole day of packing the rest of the house today. Tomorrow the majority of the boxes and furniture move out.

For some reason there are more boxes marked Office than any other room marked on other boxes prompting comments from the family that I need help apparently retro hobbies are an addiction and an illness all rolled into one.

Like women and shoes I guess

Good luck with the move @Icky !
