• Please review our updated Terms and Rules here
  • From now on we will require that a prefix is set for any items in the sales area. We have created regions and locations for this. We also require that you select a delivery option before posting your listing. This will hopefully help us streamline the things that get listed for sales here and help local people better advertise their items, especially for local only sales. New sales rules are also coming, so stay tuned.

The Vintage Computer Festival is proud to announce the grand opening of the Vintage Computer Marketplace, THE place on the web to buy, sell and trade vintage computers!

http://marketplace.vintage.org

The Vintage Computer Marketplace (VCM) has been designed to cater specifically to the vintage computer collector. The site features innovative sale and auction tools as well as inventory tools that allow you to keep a database of your computer collection online. It also features a powerful search tool to guarantee you find exactly what you're looking for. No more searches that return dozens or even hundreds of irrelevant hits.

At the VCM, you can Buy and Sell using standard fixed price and auction mechanisms. But we also feature innovative sale and auction mechanisms you won't find anywhere else, plus the ability to trade or even put items in your collection up for temporary loan.

Our powerful inventory feature allows you to maintain a database of your entire collection, including hardware, software, documentation, books, magazines, even ephemera such as posters, buttons, t-shirts, etc., in one centralized location. Our input forms are intuitive and easy to use. Once your collection is entered into the database, selling or trading off items to other collectors is a breeze. Even the database record gets transfered, so no additional data entry will be required, and a line of provenance is automatically created. The VCM really takes computer collecting to the next level!

The VCM offers one of the most powerful search engines on the web. Instead of putting in your search terms and then sifting through perhaps dozens or even hundreds of irrelevant links, you can target your search to exactly the make and model of the item you are looking for. We've pre-programmed hundreds of computer manufactures and thousands of models into our database, and are constantly updating it with new information. When you do a search on the VCM, you'll always find what you're looking for immediately.

During our grand opening period, the VCM will be free to use for an initial period of 6 weeks. After that time, the service will still be free to use for most users. Visit the VCM website and click on the "Help" link for more information.

The Vintage Computer Marketplace awaits your visit. Sign up now. It's FREE!
