Random eBay Bargains June 2020
A few items I won on eBay have been slowly piling up so it's time to unbox them and see if I can remember what I've been buying!

Tech Job Lot from eBay
I made a cheeky bid on this little lot that got accepted and after waiting a few days in quarantine (the spare bedroom) it's now time to unbox it and see what I've got!
The only thing I can remember being in this haul is a HP laptop that works but has a broken screen (which I just so happen to have a spare of) so the plan is to fix it, flog it and the rest (as they say) is gravy! More money to buy more interesting Retro Computing stuff!
Anyway, here's the video:

How To Remove Rust From Keys and Microsoft Software Unboxing

Compaq Presario 1060 - Retro Laptop Unpacking/Unboxing!
I won another different looking Compaq laptop on eBay the other day and only just had a change to unwrap/unbox/unpack it - to me it looks more like a Toshiba than a Compaq, again it looks like they were still experimenting with their look as most of the future Compaq laptops didnt look anything like this model.
Compaq Presario 1400 - Retro Laptop Unpacking/Unboxing!
Finally got around to unboxing this little beauty today! It doesn't look like any other Compaq laptop I have ever seen (nor own), it looks a bit 'Apple Maccy' (if that's such a word) a bit like they were experimenting on what their new laptops were going to look like going forward, I don't remember see anything like this before from Compaq so I guess it didn't catch on!
