Item #45, "IBM 658*D" is missing a digit where I put the asterisk, where it marks the bus type of that 300-series ValuePoint (the '8' means a "5x5" Desktop, 5 slots, 5 drive bays):

1 = ISA/VLB
3, 5, 6, 8 = ISA/PCI

Items #65, "Keyboards Part #1391401" are IBM Model M, probably with the detachable cord.

Item #71, "Type 8550 CPU - 031..." is a PS/2 Model 50Z, with 30Mb DBA ESDI HDD.

Item #73LR, "IBM Type 8550 with modem" doesn't have the submodel coding to tell if it is either a 50 or 50Z. "modem" typically means very slow speed, as microchannel never had higher.

That's the "IBM" stuff, except for the "backplanes" (probably ValuePoint risers).
 
I just wanted to share this in case anyone would be interested.​

This guy has been around for years. My guess is he buys surplus, empty factories, warehouses and storage units. He then seperates the wheat from the chaff, and sells through that list as well as several other ways.

He has said that it is left over stuff from his (or his father's) collection over the years, but the answer changes every now and then (as well as new entries in the inventory).

IMO, it would be much more effective for him to post his listings on Craigslist or eBay rather than on a personal web site.

It would be great if everyone would always list everything on Craigslist or eBay but for whatever reason there seem to be many who prefer selling through all kinds of other channels.​

Thank you very much for the heads up: in the event your allegation is true that is rather disturbing: I distrust individuals who misrepresent themselves.​
