Here is a take on the grim reaper

Love it, the ad is going to bring you a lot of business, people are going to want to see the face behind the Reaper. I figure it would be akin to robbing a bank then throwing hundred dollar bills to the crowd.

Bees swarming to the honey pot. You've got yourself a winner.

Nice work.

Best Regards
Gill

Next you will be doing an ad based on the Monty Python movie
the Holy Grail where a medieval guy with an ox cart is going through
the streets of the city saying:

"Bring out your dead!" "Bring out your dead!" :lol:

Oh is that a challenge?
lol
I love the ideas coming out.

I'm not obviously not going to use this due to many copyright issues but someone brought up the idea.
These are not actual photos from the movie, any I could find were very poor quality so I had to make my own
just for your enjoyment - glorycloud

Great last 1/2 hour
my post just netted me 2 1985 macs, a couple of vic 20's, 8 late 80s IBMS,
a box of cards and about 100 other boxes with parts and things in them, all for free

edit for spelling

What section of CL are you putting your ads in? Here in Spokane the self appointed CL cops get all up in arms for anything even remotely commercial or wanted in the computer section. I used to have pretty decent luck in the strait wanted section, but have gotten lax in recent months at posting

I use Kijiji Ottawa and Used ottawa as well as free online ads on my college network and little printed ads at super markets. I'm still going to print the above ads and post door to door. I also reply to anyone selling a computer to see if they have scrap to give up and I always respond to free givaways no matter how many hours they have posted.
Craigs list for ottawa is not a strong free classified site here in ottawa. the first two mentioned are the most used.

Yes indeed, another one that has caught the fever. You are doing very well Joem, and I admire your tenacity.

The old computers could fetch a nice price on eBay. Before scrapping them check the going price on similar systems on completed listings.

Vic 20's goes for $20-$30, an original IBM PC could fetch $100 if in good quality.

I only get newer systems these days.

By the looks of his processors and memory, he didn't have any
"vintage" computers but it's always good to check first.

No those pictures are only the loose memory and cpus in cardboard boxes I still have to look at the mac classic and the ibms, and the 486s. also two vic 20's and a coleco system.

My ad just brought in 123 - Cobra AW-840 sound cards still in the box,
2 older original workimg IBM laptops, and 2 old engine testers with 6 card inserts and a whole pile of cables. Friday I have four boxes of motherboards and cards to pick up. Oh yeah and two new pet baby rats to add to our zoo.
