Now I am completely confused. What happened to the online spread-sheet that
some of us filled out? Did that go to him? If so, does the fact that we've
heard nothing means our offers were not interesting? If not, are we now
supposed to call instead?

Very observant! (Although I guess you've been using that a lot recently! :-)

I don't think so. (Well, I vaguely recall rumours of a couple going out on
beta-test; too busy to chase down where I saw that.)

Which one - 'computermuseum.org.uk'? Many of the pictures I saw online were
on pages with copyright notices. I was actually hoping someone who _has_ one
the the things I listed would take a picture and send it to me.

They are in low-light locations; without flash it's a long exposure and I get
blurring because my hand isn't steady enough. And I don't feel like moving
them, or re-doing the lighting - too many higher priority things to do.

I've seen some go by on eBait, so I have an idea of the value, but I
couldn't get enthusiastic about listing them.

Again, not enthusiastic enough to put in the work...

OK, I will add that.

It's spotty, and seems to die out later on. The -11/40 boards have it, but
for the -11/45 and -11/70, some do, and some don't. None of the KDF11 or
KDJ11 QBUS CPU boards do.

Ooops. Fixed. Thanks.

That's the KDJ11-B, no? That's there.
> Is a /44 really worth that much now?!?!
Hey, one just went for more than that: eBait #183624991924, $3K! Admittedly,
that one was loaded, but the page does say "a number of factors will cause
them to vary considerably from the numbers given here ... Exactly which
peripherals and memory are included".
But I did adjust the number a bit - the boards are going for about $50 each,
and add in a BA11-A, it's probably $700 for a bare machine. Actually, I
really need to check all the numbers.
But I think I'd rather get the QBUS boxes sorted out first; I pretty much
only know the BA11's. If someone could tell me what later boxes to list,
above the BA23, (which I also need an image of), that would be very helpful.

We have to understand, as others pointed out, that if no one speaks up for stuff at a price that can keep the parts houses in business then the parts won't be around. By the same token, the parts houses have to know we can't pay typical full price that corporations/military can. We must be willing to pay something above scrap value, of course.
I ask folks to keep an open mind and give Jesse a fair shake moving forward.

Holly smokes... 1st, Cindy thanks for calling me and vouching for me on
this list but let me clear something up here....
A. the ebay ads are mine and I put all content up there.
B. there reflects different locations (Largo, Clearwater, Land o lakes)
all around the Tampa area. We have been in that area since about 1995
and address have changed several times because we have moved .
C. The ebay ads are not all corrected with the current address since I
didn't thing that was going to be any kind of issue ever. I have like
400 running ads and you have to individually correct each one.. again, I
really never and up until this moment thought it was ever an issue since
selling on ebay since 1997.
D. some of the older 1k and older board ship from Pittsburgh because
thats where I split my time between Tampa and Pittsburgh and the really
old stuff is in Pittsburgh.
E. I never even posted my ebay stuff on here, I did an intro and posted
some stuff I was looking for.. Heck, I never even contributed to the
ebay thread.
Jesse
