Sorry folks -- I meant to reply to the poster directly, not to the list. Tried
to stop it in time but failed. Please don't judge me for it!

Hi there,
I'm not sure if he does estate sales, but I strongly suggest you contact
Sellam
Ismail, who owns a company in Silicon Valley called VintageTech. You may
have
seen his name on this list as well as "VCF" or "Vintage Computer
Festival."
Anyway, Sellam's pretty much the biggest collector in the known galaxy, and
his
company, VintageTech, lets him do this hobby for a living.
You can reach Sellam at vcf(a)vintage.org.
Why you should trust my opinion: I'm the founder/editor of Computer
Collector,
which is an online news magazine (with about 500 subscribers each week)
serving
the hobby.
Good luck,

(PS -- I personally collect handhelds and PDAs. If there are any in the
collection, I'd like to look through the list.)

Is there a company or private party in the
Pacific Northwest that
specializes
in liquidating computer estates? They date from the late 1970s to the mid
1990s in various conditions.
I really don't want to recycle them at scrap price if someone out there can
use them.
I figured ebay is a good place for anything unopened, but all the rest is
simply overwhelming.
Help, suggestions, ideas and warnings are welcomed.
