Hi,

I can point you to the following drectory of retro-computing collectors in
Germany. It's very simple but has all required data in one interface.
http://dafc.rauch-grapengeter.de/ sorry, its all german, but you'll get the
idea

You will find the following data:
-Name, Email (spam-treated), Collection-focus
-Geographic position, (town + zip) handy to know who to ask if suddenly a
nice machine comes up at the other side of the country that must be
collected whitin xx days (or hours...)
-Current inventory (as far as one likes to publish it)
-Items for trade / sale, items sought after.
-Machines cross reference with some photoos
-Internal area, (passworded) there are e.g. phonenumbers and Ebay-aliasses
to avoid useless competition between collectors.
-Linklist
-contactform

http://www.geocities.com/computercollectors/index.htm
is another site, but I will never list myself there due to the open
presentation of the email-adresses, which just asks to be captured by
spam-robots.

So if you want to setup something, go head! I think it's useful. However,
you may considder to seek some cooperation with one of the big vintage
sites. Starting completely from zero off a new domain is not easey afterall.

Have a nice day,
Frank
