Hi, I have some vintage computers that very likely don't work anymore (corroded circuitboards) but the oldschool cases are still intact, Commodore PETs, and an old Commodore 4040 dual 5 1/4" floppy disk drive, and some old printers. And some old Commodore 64s not sure if they go or not. And a Dick Smith VZ200 again not sure if it goes or not. Would there be a market in these?

My son buys up old ones to recondition for collectors,they get a good price

Yes, I say there would be. Put them on Trademe, $1 reserve. Might get more money for them if you are able to test which ones work or not. Or maybe you just list them as untested.

Do they have those anchor points to join the security cable onto?

Problem is I don't know if any still work, and there is the possibility of missing pieces

There's an active NZ vintage computing group on Facebook and some of the members there are very keen on old Computer tech in NZ. You could place a message there and gauge interest but even if you create a TM listing, with some good clear photos and state "as is" you'll get interest. Depending where you are, I'd specify pickup only to begin with, that can save a lot of hassle.

Thank you all for reminding me of my teenage years :)

people will pay good money for those, theres an avid vintage computer community out there. I bought a broken amiga 500 off here a while back, just needed something re-soldered and was good as new, got around $300 for it
