Old pc parts

[Obieone]

We're talking really old, 386,486, pentium 1 boxes,dot matrix printers,etc,etc. Does anyone buy this stuff or is it just junk? A mate of mine literally has a room full of these things which he is finally going to get rid of.

Rather donate it, not worth anything unless its some limited edition or rare.

Donate to who, does anyone use this stuff?

You would be surprised, a few small companies still use ancient hardware/software to control old machinery.

Ok forgot to add he does have someone who will take the stuff away for nothing, was just wondering if it's worth anything.

Dot matrix printers are actually commonly used in businesses that issue invoices on continuous paper, typically the small businesses. Clean them up and sell them at R50 a pop.
