    I am looking for any old IBM Systems that range from Desktops to Laptops.
    Any good sites that sell those kinds of systems for a good price and in good condition?

    I don't know, but I'm tempted to keep my state of the art (ish) laptop
    running Windows 10 and Ubuntu, and to get a monochrome IBM PC-AT for
    my desk.

    Let me know if you find a source.

    Let me rephrase the original question. Does anyone have any first-hand experience with resellers that sell old systems for a good price and in fair condition they'd like to share?

    I've got a basement full of PC clone desktops, plus a couple of real IBMs. Bring a truck
