I'm finally getting around to cleaning out my “Island of Misfit Toys”. These things may have value but perhaps are no longer valuable to anyone except as paperweights and doorstops:
- Two 512 MB sticks of RAM, 184-pin 400 MHz CL3. I think it's PC 3200 DDR SDRAM but I can't remember how to read the chips or the labels for the rest of the details.
- a Radeon Visiontek Xtasy 9550 graphics accelerator with 128MB of RAM on an AGP card
- a Pentax Optio W10 waterproof digital camera with a cracked screen (only good for parts)
- camera battery charger and cables for the camera
- 11 silver spoons and a salt scraper from small Heartland towns collected by my grandmother in the 1930s-40s
- old pamphlets:
* a 1934 reprint of a FORTUNE magazine article on munitions companies
* a 1955 “This Is Your Congress” from the “Independent Economic Research Foundation” (?!?)
* a 1934 “The duPont Company and Munitions” defense against accusations of fomenting war
* a 1953 Bureau of Land Management info bulletin on leasing Alaska land
* a 1974 “Franklin Mint” collection of coins of Jamaica
* a 1973 USPS Souvenir Mint Set. IIRC the stamp's torn perforations reduce their “value”.
These dregs are the remainder of an inheritance/cleanup that I've been handling mainly through eBay and a few specialty websites. I'm having trouble getting good eBay info-- any other resource suggestions?
I'm not too worried about seeing any of this stuff on “Antiques Roadshow”, but I'd much prefer to donate it to a school computer lab or a library rather than pitch it in the trash.
