Maybe bring it to World of Commodore and see what interest there is!

My first machine I programmed was the Commodore Vic-20 and C64 when I was in
grade school. My parents invested in the Commodore ecosystem so that I
could do my school assignments and saw I had interest in programming. As
PCs became more prevalent, the Commodore stuff was put in storage where it
has been pretty been untouched since 1987.
This includes the VIC, C64, and 128. One Commodore monitor. Two printers
with ink cartridge spares. Expansion cards for the VIC. Koala pad. Two
1541s and a 1571. Two tape drives. Complete set of monthly Compute Gazette
and LoadStar disks from 1983-1987. Games on floppy and cartridge.
Programming books with program listings. "I am the C64" set of cassette
tapes. Original books and boxes with packing styrofoam.. I invested in a
serial transfer cable and an updated 1571 ROM chip to make D64 and T64 files
but never tried to get it to work. I also have a C64 for parts and a C16
keyboard.
I also have a complete set of equipment and software for an Amiga 500. I
found a transfer cable and a breakout box for MIDI playback but never spent
the time to figure out how it works (I do have a Roland MT-32).
I am well aware of Commodore's inability to make decent power supplies, so I
know better to dust it off and blindly plug them in.
This is part of a museum collection I've amassed over 40 years that I'm just
selling off in lots at this point.
Is there interest in any of the Commodore (or other) items? I would feel
better if someone who actually loves the stuff would have it.
Thanks,
Ken
