Ok so i went charity shop shopping today to find my N64 ac adapter and i ended up getting loads of other stuff, after expressing an interest in one Spectrum the woman in the shop gave me loads of things, it was all free too, because she said old computer stuff doesnt sell, some of the things she even had in the back…

Ok so i went charity shop shopping today to find my N64 ac adapter and i ended up getting loads of other stuff, after expressing an interest in one Spectrum the woman in the shop gave me loads of things, it was all free too, because she said old computer stuff doesnt sell, some of the things she even had in the back room... and they smell like they were there for a long time. The pictures are really bad because i cant use my mams camera, I'll take a better photo if someone wants a better look... no point doing it all again if its just junk.

So are any of these things worth something or did i just waste my time?

Two Speccys with no wires, they are in perfect condition and one even tells you how to use a spectrum on it, which is cute.

the next is one of those bbc home computers, it has no wires either. but its in fairly good nick.

Then theres a C64, i think its just rubbish because it has nothing with it, i just took it because i felt it was rude to pick and choose if she was giving it to me for free.

Then theres a boxed Commodore 600, it seems to have everything with it including a joystick, two weird spinny wheels made of paper and the booklet to a street fighter game thats kind of entertaining. Did you know Ryu, Dhalsim and Guile are all Blood type O?

And Finally something really snazzy, its Commodore 1541 - II disk deive, its in the box with all the books, but i dont know if its to use with the C64 or the C600

Oh and I'm really sorry if this thread it me blocking up the forum!
