💻 $80 Facebook Marketplace Retro Computer Haul – Was It Worth It?

I found a huge lot of retro computer hardware on Facebook Marketplace for just $80, and I couldn’t resist taking the gamble. In this video I show the original listing, drive out to pick everything up, and then go through boxes full of vintage PC hardware, laptops, and accessories to see what treasures might be hiding inside.

Back at the workshop we dig through everything piece by piece — including Slot 1 motherboards, a Socket 7 board, HP OmniBook laptops from the early 2000s with docking stations, backup tape drives, network switches, vintage software, and old computer books. Some of these items could be great candidates for future retro PC builds, Windows 98 machines, or classic gaming systems.

For only $80, did this retro tech haul turn out to be a hidden treasure… or a pile of junk? Let’s find out.
