Selling it off. What would you keep ?

 I am at a point where I am thinking about divesting myself of the
majority of my computer collection. Partly needed bucks driven, partly
tiring of it all. A small museum is unlikely and I have other unfulfilled
interests which I might focus on as an old fart. Likely on E-Pay
because we're a notoriously cheap (or poor) lot.
 What would the list retain if they were cutting down or getting rid of
the majority of thier collection and keeping enough to keep thier hand
in.
 The game machines are easy and the first to go.
 I would think of retaining an IBM PC and another good DOS box.
 A CP/M machine. Maybe a Rainbow and let the Kaypros, Osborne,
and others go.
 A hip old laptop, In my case a Grid 1520 and my Sharp handheld.
 Maybe one old early box like my Micom, H-89. or TRS m.II
 An Atari 8-bit and / or CoCo 3
 An ST and Amiga 3K
 An IBM PS/2 likely the 8590, altho who would want 8580s, a more
   significant machine. Maybe one kept by default.
 
 And a newer DOS box and laptop.

 And then looking at this exclusive list it won't be easy.
