Here's the opportunity to buy&save batches of DEC flip chip modules.
It must be several thousands, I estimate the total weight of the boxes
to over 100kg.
Most are "red" logic series, but other colors are there too.
Apparently they are plugged from different machine types, maybe even
PDP-10s or -12s.
Of course I'm greedy!
But while we have a PDP-12 and some DECtapes here, this amount is mostly
useless and will occupy much precious space until the end of my days.
So question: Is there any reasonable demand for flip chips in the community?
And more difficult: any hint about the price I can offer?
Thanks for your opinion,
Joerg

There has been a few sales on ebay, look for ended auctions. I suspect blue
flip-chips from a PDP-10 has a higher collectible value.
Are you looking to get rid of the whole lot at once?

He has some 100's of R series over the years. Many sell for between $10
and $20
There is definitely interest, I have bought more that 30 from him.

I have managed over the years to obtain most of the spares I need for my
straight 8. For those A, B, G, R, and S type modules I still don't have I
am willing to pay as much as $30 with shipping each. Of course paying less
is always better. And the really rare cards I would of course pay more
for. Even cards with missing parts or defect tags are valuable for the
parts that are still there.
The first thing you probably should do is inventory what you have and put
it up on a website as available for sale or trade. I should probably put
up a website with a list of what I an looking for.
