Lost part of my collection :(

[andychak]

I recently moved house and just realised one of the boxes doesn't seem to have made it over. Had my collection of 3DFX Voodoo cards (Voodoo 1, 2 and 3 2000) and a bunch of other miscellaneous hardware (some Amiga and Commodore bits)
Debating if I should just buy the bits I lost, but the high cost now is a factor.
The other factor is that I dont use Voodoo as much as I thought I would, mostly ended up as a novelty

What would you do in this situation ?

I recently moved (2 months ago) but, I moved all my retro gear myself because I didn't want to chance my gear in the hands of removals.

Can you reach out to who moved your items?

 

[andychak]

I moved the most valuable bits myself but my collections large enough where I had to get removals people to handle parts of it (have a few CRT's and computers that are quite heavy)

Since I signed off the deliveries the removals firm wont take any action.

Mostly just annoyed at myself for not checking everything

Perhaps try to move on, if the main items of concerns were voodoo cards which turned out to be a novelty for you. Buy something you do want that will fill the void and forget the loss of things that weren't so important as all that.

Solid advice
Already have a few projects to move onto (Dead BBC Micro Model B and a dead Mac Classic that I intend to repair)

Excellent advice. Life would be better for everyone if we could drop our baggage and move on. I'm speaking as someone with a ton of baggage and a ton of Amiga parts
