Hello,
I am new here. My dad passed, an amazing man and an outstanding father. I found in his house some old IBM stuff that is in excellent condition. I found 3 5251 display stations that are not refurbished and are in excellent condition. I also have the 3 7362149 IBM 5251 display station 83 key keyboards that goes with them. I found IBM printer ribbon still in the original boxes that were never opened.
Can anyone tell me where I might be able to sell this equipment to? My brothers let me have it as I am a single Mom and things are kinda rough. If anyone knows, I would greatly appreciate any information that you may have. I did look on ebay and craigslist, but they don't seem to sell on there.
Thank you for reading my post and thank you for your time.

I think these are going to be of interest to some of the old IBM System/34 and AS/400 collectors who might own something that can connect to these beasts.

eBay might be your best bet.

My condolences on your loss...

Providing a basic location will help too. As Chuck said, these are rather obscure terminals that were specific to IBM minicomputers. They are going to be in the late 70's timeframe, and I nickname them "Hernia Terminals" (the double-headed 5252 was worse) on weight.

Don't expect much interest (I have several myself, stacked atop four System/34 units)...

What was the reason he specifically had those items if you know?...
