For some reason, I don't see this posted after sending, so my apologies
if this was posted in the meantime.
This was from the comp.sys.dec newsgroup. this morning. Anybody in Dallas?
I am going to get rid of 7 or 8 VAX 6400 and 6500
machines, including
many spares, some SF-200/900 storage, and alot of other doo-dads. Some
machines have DSSI, some CI. Some have BI bus.
All were removed from computer rooms. Most recently, a pair of hevily
loaded 6410's with BI and SF900 fresh from Sony's decommissioned fab
in San Antonio.
Have also a couple three top-load 9-tracks like the one on the right
in this picture:

and 6 LA120's or LA-120-like DEC consoles. Several boxes/lots of old
dec parts also.
What's my best bet for getting one entity to come take them all, in
one lot, load them up and move them out?
Bring two bobtail trucks with liftgates, and a couple big boys to help
load.
Located in Dallas, Texas
(I suppose this might be of more interest to a reseller, even if they
live on as parts, but they have to go, and I can't bear to push them
to the curb, if you understand.)
I also have, on separate deal, about an 8' high stack of VAXstations
and storage expansion as well as about a 6' high stack of
lunchbox-style microvax 2000 stuff like this:

also CRT's for the vaxstations, extra parts, pedestal-type vaxen like
this:

and Q-bus boards and keyboards, VT terms, etc.
also, much 'classic' PC stuff, very old PC/XT laptops, and enough
parts to carry you through the apocalypse after which VMS and DOS will
be the only two things still running.
All must depart. No time for ebay.
