"Most collectors want:
The first computer they ever touched (that's where I come in)
An old transistor mini
Maybe a PDP-8/11....
Most others aren't worth the cost of shipping.

Fine, but if you scrap a machine, try to at least get the documentation and
software to someone that can use it. Many times these items are separatated
from the computers as they're being disposed of.
These items are much smaller
and are also practical to ship, and are vital to
restoring the other machines
around the world that haven't been parted out.
