Best place to sell old computers, Commodore PET e.g.


I have a few machines that I'd like to sell, realized that I'm never going to get around to refurbishing them, replacing the electrolytic caps, etc. Searches mostly return eBay sellers, when I look for current prices.

But it seems like I'm missing something. Is there such a thing as an online antique computer marketplace, the equivalent of the M.I.T. Flea Market, maybe ? I'd like to be more confident in the prices I'm putting on them, and it seems like eBay is the only thing being promoted by the search results. I'm near Boston, btw.

Machines are: Apple II, Macintosh Plus, DECstation 5000/120, Commodore PET 4032, Amiga 1000

Depending on your locale, there may be a Commodore or Apple// club nearby. Even if there isn't a buyer for all components, they can probably hook you into their network of vintage computing device enthusiests.

Craigslist used to have lots of local ads for vintage computers like this. Not so much in recent years (though there are still some); have local markets moved to Facebook or what? (I'm a luddite towards FB.)
