    Default what to do with a roomful of older equipment?

    Hello, I bought a house that has a roomful of printing equipment. The previous owner ran a printing business from the 1950's to the 1990's, she specialized in formal invitations. The most complex piece is a A.B. Dick 350 or 360 offset press. Everything seems to be in pretty good shape as far as an inexperience eye can tell.

    I don't know the first thing about what to do with these items. Is there a market for older printing equipment? Any chance I could find someone local who would buy the whole roomful, or would it be worthwhile to sell items individually on the internet?

    Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

    Is there a letterpress in the mix? A friend of mine is looking to do custom stationary and might be interested. Ebay always has equipment for sale. I'd go there and see if someone has sold similar items. Might help you determine a pricing structure.
    By the time I walk out of here, I'm going to be a lean, mean, prepress machine...

    Oxburger, thanks for the suggestions! I don't think I have a letter press. I have several pieces made by "Pres-To-line, but I don't think that is what your friend is looking for.

    GMFrancis - PM sent.
