Been clearing out the house to try and get rid of a load of stuff before we downsize and came across an old Dragon 32k computer with two joysticks, various games and books/magazines. Also found some Spectrum 48k games. Does anyone know if they are likely to be worth anything or are they going to landfill?

Some of those spectrum games arw definitely worth selling. Look up some of the enthusiasts groups on facebook if you want a better idea of their worth

They will be worth something. You might be looking over £100 if they’re all in working condition but it all depends on that condition and finding a buyer.

They are collectible and have a bit of value to enthusiasts so don’t bin them.

I put my Sinclair ZX81, with books, magazines and cassettes on Ebay earlier this year at a fixed price. I thought the price was a bit cheeky and I was expecting offers.
It sold at my asking price within 48 hours. Buyer gave me excellent feedback. To give a clue - funds received more than paid for 2 sets of vintage clubs.

Same advice as above. Have a look what similar stuff sold for. I recommend fixed price rather than auction for stuff like this.
