Anyone want any old (retro) iron?

I'm finding myself in the position of having to move house before the end of the year, which is forcing me to rationalise some of the junk which has been hanging around in cupboards and boxes for the past few years.

While some of it is worth sticking up on Ebay, quite a lot of it won't really justify the amount of effort involved. It seems a shame, however, to just throw it all away...

The upshot is that within the next week or so, there'll be a couple of large boxes filled with various bits of retro-junk - joypads, GBA pirate carts (arr), leads, games, a cybiko, a DC keyboard, pong machines, a philips CDi, etc, etc, etc.

I don't have the time to split it all out and dole out individual bits, so what I'm asking is:
is there anyone who wants a couple of large boxes of Stuff, to do with as they will? I'm happy to drop 'em off anywhere within a reasonable distance of Suffolk (i.e. up to 2 hours drive each way), though I'd obviously prefer someone to pick 'em up from here...

What I'd ideally prefer is to bring the entire lot to a RV meet and let people take what they will, but I'm not going to have the room to keep 'em that long. I'm moving 200 miles and from a big 3 bedroom house to a 2-bed apartment, so I've got to prioritise!

Every time I see a cybiko I think "Lucky escape"

I live in suffolk!

I'd like a box of bits!

I'd also like to keep my testicles and I fear my girlfriend may well remove them by using some force if I were to aquire more gamey bits.. I already think I'm pushing it have two games consoles and their messy leads all over the living room floor

.... Hang on.. Pong machines?

Nice to see there's a couple of interested people - I was starting to get worried!

So far there's two interested and a maybe (depending on how serious guythp is). Once I've got the boxes together, I shall see how the distribution goes:)
