Rest home for old Ataris?

Hi guys, I'm selling my trusty old friend on ebay - a Roland D550 synth module (haven't used it for years now as I tend to use software synths). I have an Atari 1040ST (bought in the 80's, still going strong) and a replacement Atari monitor. I used to use this as it has an excellent D550 editor on it. (And used good ol' Steinberg Cubase in the old days).

So basically it's unused and taking up space, now that the D550 is going. I thought of trying to flog the Atari and monitor on ebay but don't think anyone would buy it. And it would be a sin to just dump it at the tip.

Does anyone know of an Atari "rest home" in the UK where it'll be used? Or anyone interested? (I'd want only 50 quid or something but the porblem is I wouldn't want to send it in the post so it'd be pickup only - anyhow, that's a longshot anyway...)

So any advice/solutions what to do with the Atari + monitor?

    e-Bay is probably your best bet. I'm sure some collector would love to have that.

    Hi QS, in the beautifully named Gravesend, Kent; (I think you're in London? So only about 25 miles away or so).

    PS Thanks for advice, SlickZero.
