The Vintage Computer Fest has an annual event on each coast: https://vcfed.org/vcf-swap-meet/

I went last year and there was a smallish number of old 8- and 16-bit computers for sale at vendor booths. (Large numbers of old Macs, if you're into that.)

Yes, VCF East and VCF Midwest are both great, though pretty much unrelated oter than the genre! The VCF East swap meets and workshops are also great. System Source in Maryland also hosts VCFed-affiliated workshops. We're hoping to start doing them at our business in central VA (near Lexington, the southern I-64/I-81 interchange) soonish.

Great suggestion. If you're in the Midwest you should not miss VCF Midwest (http://vcfmw.org/sitearchive/2022_vfinal_20220906/), there are 10-15 vendors selling old computers there.

And there's also selling at the exhibit booths sometimes!
