It is hard for me to admit this, but I have a PDP-11/23 that I will
never get around to doing anything with. I need to find a new home for
it.
It's complete, was running, needs RL02 disk packs. Comes with two
VT100's and an LA36 Decwriter II. It is configured exactly as in this
picture (I don't think it's a plus though).

I have cash into this project. I'm wondering if there is any value to
this system. Have PDP's reached "collectable" status yet?

They don't go for a song anymore. I expect price you will get depends
on your shipping options. I epect having no clue at prices that would
start off with out shipping at about $1K.

The price depends "heavily" on the location where it is ;-)

Like I said
I have no idea of prices but *running* does make a big difference
in your selling price. I have about $350 US in mad money this month to a
happy PDP 11 seller.

PS. I don't use ebay.

worthless. but I'll haul it away for free, just cause I'm a nice guy :-)
where is it?

My impression is that a working system with rl02's (and a vt100) is
of value to dec-geeks, but not a lot on the street.
Maybe a hundred dollars on ebay if you are lucky, but the weight of that
system will hold many people back (i.e. very expensive to ship)
plus, 11/23 cpu's are dime a dozen. the LA36 if it's working is not
common, nor are working vt100's. They seem to fetch $100 each.
working 11/73's in plastic seemed to be fetching a few hundred on ebay,
but I think that is because they are resonably fast, run unix and are
not that expensive to ship.
just my $.02

I was just cleaning my in basket , while I was waiting for VCM to load.
A PDP8/A is just up for sale -- $1,500.00 . I would say the answer is
yes.

PS. Has your PDP-11 sold?
