Wait 6502 old computers and retrocomputing

Today personal computers are ubiquitous, they all look the same with those gray square metal boxes, but the digital world has not been always as boring as it is today.
There was a time when computers where uncommon and truly expensive, when each model had a distinctive personality, was rather unfriendly and incompatible with the others but still very fascinating. It all began during the mid 70s, when a group of hobbyists scattered across the USA started the personal computer revolution.

Why yet another retrocomputing website?

This is for sure a good question. We believe there are many great resources about old computers around in the web, but we wanted our share of glory :-)
Besides, we aim to collect data that is not available anywhere else yet. For example we are interested in original retail prices of the items in our museum at different times and in different locations during the days when those items where still available for sale.
If you wish you can help us right now, just browse to any hardware item page and fill in the data in the "help us" section.

We also built an automated system that checks major ebay websites in order to track information on retrocomputing related items and their final prices.
As many machines are getting rarer and rarer the ebay marketplace is a good and quick resource to find them, so our data could become a useful reference for buyers who are willing to pay no more than the right price for those computers. On the other hand there are still many cheap or free computers around that can be easily found at flea markets, thrift shops, garage sales, friends houses, or arranging exchanges with other retrocomputing enthusiasts, so we encourage people to use as many sources as possible when looking for vintage computers.
