Hey Steven Wouter - I appreciate the fact that the site is overwhelmed with support requests, but almost 2 months have gone by and I still haven't gotten my BTG. I've tried support requests. I've tried emails to you and support. I've even tried sending tweets to the QoinPro account AND your account. I have gotten NO RESPONSES AT ALL. What the heck man?

AND - I've claimed all the most recent Bitcoin forks but none of the balances reflect the proper amount as compared to my BTC balance.

I'm in a similar situation...NO BTG! I understand that support seems overloaded. I get it...but we're getting close to two months now and not BTG as promised. Also, I claimed all the most recent Bitcoin forks and none of those coins reflect the proper balances.

I am pretty frustrated and am thinking about just withdrawing my BTC entirely. Even without the BTG.

Interesting offer. Thanks for the idea.

Very cool of you to respond. Thanks for checking out the pictures! Lol - the Back to the Future reference was good!

As to what works and what doesn't...

Believe it or not, a lot of it works! Haha - I haven't tested tested some of the stuff in many, many years - specifically I'm talking about the Colocovision, Intellivision, Magnavox Odyssey, and Turbo Grafx16 systems and their associated games and joysticks. Last time I plugged them all in, they all worked but that was probably 15 years ago now. I just recently plugged in the Atari 7800 and it worked perfectly. I should test some of the 8-bit NES stuff just for the fun of it. I haven't played an original NES game in quite some time!

With regard to the computers and parts - most of the PC desktops, laptops, and servers work. The only exception would be if one of the cases didn't have a motherboard installed or something silly like that. And, I think I ran across an old custom-built 486 machine a while back that seems to have a dead front power switch. The old Macs are tougher for me to say because I'd need to order a bunch of CMOS batteries and put drives in them to test them. I know at least some of them powered right up the last time I checked. I specifically remember the G3 desktops powering up, as well as all three original iMacs, the Mac Plus (surprise), the WorkGroup servers (all 3 of them), the PowerMac 6500/225, the PowerMac 9650/350, and several of the others. The Amiga 1200 and Amiga 500 both work fine and so does the Commodore VIC20, the 128, the 128D, and all the external Commodore and Amiga drives. As to the various other random countless hard drives, keyboards, cables, external SCSI cases etc...to be honest, I've lost track of what works and what doesn't. If I remember right, most of the external SCSI drives work (hard drive, tape, floptical, Bernoulli, zip, CD, and floppy). The internal hard drives are a different story. I honestly don't know which work and which don't. I have some really cool drives though. We're talking OLD drives like very early pre-IDE Seagate and Winchester MLM stuff!

Too bad you aren't closer because it sounds like you'd enjoy getting your hands on some of this gear! And yes, if somebody were to want to take everything, they would get a stupid good deal because my wife wants it all gone. Apparently it's time for us to "downsize"...or so she says. :-)

To those of you who might be in Southern CA and you think this stuff sounds pretty cool, send me message and let's arrange for a time when you can come over and take a closer look!

With regard to the requests for pictures, I'm not opposed...but there is A LOT of stuff and it would take me quite a long time to go through and snaps pictures of everything. What I will do though, is go through and snap some "broad shots" of some different things so that you can see some of the stuff I mentioned in the initial post.

With regard to the comment about me being a "noob" and this being a fake sale or something like that...wow...seriously?! And jumping on my case about not mentioning escrow?!?! That doesn't even make sense! Why would I mention the use of an escrow service when I am literally attempting to invite someone over to my house to look at the stuff IN PERSON?! What does an escrow services have to do with that?! First of all, this was a sort feeler post and was simply to see if anyone was interested. The idea was that if someone was interested they would PM me and I would contact them that way. Secondly, I did not want to post pictures initially because this wasn't intended to be a mass "Internet Garage Sale". The post was intended to catch someone's eye in Southern California who wanted to come over and take a look and have a beer and maybe hang out and talk about old stuff for a while. And maybe (hopefully), they'll walk away with a bunch of my stuff and I'll get some crypto for it. THAT was the idea. It would be too much work and too time consuming to try and sell things one item at a time so I've never even considered the idea of shipping things to people.

Granted, I was probably wrong to not post at least some pictures initially. I'll post a few this evening when I get home from my office.

Enough with the "noob" idiocy though. Seriously. Can we be more mature than that please? Sheesh.

<UPDATE>

Original post has been edited to include a link to some pics.

So...here's the deal...

I put on ad on the local Inland Empire Craigslist but haven't gotten any takers so I figured I'd try here and I'll likely try a few other places as well...

I've got a garage full of old computer and video game stuff. Old Macs, old PC's, old servers, old laptops, Commodore, Amiga, Radio Shack (TRS-80) and more. I'm not talking a warehouse full, I'm talking 50ish computers in all. I've also got lots of old motherboards, video/network/audio/and hard drive controller cards, old PCMCIA cards...basically a bunch of early 80's to mid-2000's computer stuff. Some of the stuff works, some doesn't, but everything is in pretty good shape! If you are interested, I would expect that you'd want to come over and test things out. Or maybe you just want the stuff and don't care what works. It's up to you.

With regard to the old macs...I've got several IIci's, a IIcx, an SE30 case (I've probably got the logic board for it somewhere), a Plus, a WorkGroup Server 6100/66 pizza box style machine in the original box with all original paperwork), a WorkGroup Server 9650/350, a WorkGroup Server 8550/132, a PowerMac G3 tower (266, I think), a PowerMac 6500/225 tower, a Quadra 650, a Quadra 700, a few PowerMac G3 desktops (233's I think), a few original iMac G3's, and lots of others that I'm not remembering. In addition to the above, I've got lots of old SCSI drives for the macs as well as expansion cards, cables, monitors, mice, keyboards, etc.

Oh...I think I failed to mention that I've got several classic 8-bit Nintendo's (including a Sports Edition new in the box) as well as several other classic gaming system like PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Portable (PSP...the original one), Colecovision, Intellivision, TurboGrafx-16, Atari 1600 and 7800 (the 7800 is in the original box), and more. I've also got games for almost all the systems as well as controllers/joysticks. BTW - some of the 8-bit Nintendo games are new in box (some are even still sealed)...and yes...I have a few really rare carts that are worth some pretty decent $.

And...I can't forget the classic old school machines like the Commodore 128 and 128D (the 128 is in the original box!), I've got external 5 1/4" drives for the Commodore including a 1571 in original box and I have games and controllers and other software for the Commodore machines as well. I also have an Amiga 1200 and an Amiga 600 which are freaking cool little machines. I've got software and controllers/joysticks for them too.

There's more (pc laptops, pc servers, pc desktops, parts, etc...), but there's way too much to just list it all out in a post. If someone out there in So Cal (or elsewhere) is interested, I'd love to meet and have you come over and check it all out.

I've hidden my email address on the forum to avoid spammers, but if send me a message indicating you'd like more info, and you send me your email address, I'll email you and we can figure things out from there.

Ideally, I'd like all this stuff to go at once and I'd like it to go to someone who has a passion for "oldware" like I do. Since it's a lot of stuff, and some of it has actual value, I understand that it might be tough to get rid of everything in one fell swoop. But...if the right buyer comes along...and that person wants it all...well...let's just say they'll walk away with a smile on their face because they got a great deal!

Granted, there aren't a lot of ads of this type on this forum, but I guess we'll see what happens!

I hope to hear back from someone soon!!!

And here's some pics:

I am perfectly aware that it is difficult to make out EXACTLY what model this or that is from the pics. These were simply meant to show a few of the things I originally mentioned. The idea here is to have an interested party come over and check things out in person. Perhaps we can hang out? Perhaps we can have a beer or two while hanging out?
