Does anyone here have any advice on how to go about
disposing of a
computer collection? The time is well past for me to get serious about
it. I want to keep a lot of my DEC gear, but even some of the VMS and
PDP-11 related stuff will be going. I don't have time to do anything
with most of the stuff I've got, and it's become an anchor around my
neck.
Ideally I'd like to recover some of the money I've got into the
collection, as I've sunk a LOT of money over the past few years into it.
What I'd suggest is putting a description of what you have up on the list,
and see if people are interested in it. I'm sure there's a fair number of
people that'd be interested in large chunks of your collect, and might
even be willing to drive to where you are, if they know. I know I'd
probably be game if you were within a 6-8 hour drive.
