I've got a monochrome NEC APC (dual 8"
floppies) that
I was going to eBay, but it hovers right at that magic
70lb rate which seems to hit all kinds of shipping
issues with USPS (won't deliver it), UPS (big $$$
surcharge), & FedEx (only deliver to a business
address, $$$). Seems by the time you factor in ship
costs it wouldn't be worth it unless someone was
really desperate.
Fedex ground ships to home addresses you know. Price isnt too bad. You could
also try Airborne/DHL or Emery/Menlo worldwide for ideas also.

FedEx will only ship packages up to 70lbs to
residential addresses. Anything over 70 they will
only deliver to a business address.

The Computer History Museum has a PDP-1. It has been
underdoing restoration, and I saw the CPU running
diagnostics at an event there last Saturday. The
museum actually has three PDP-1s, including the
prototype and another that is "on tour". As far as
I know, these are the only PDP-1s known to exist.
A member of the restoration team said that only
50 were manufactured.

PDP-1 :
description: DEC's first computer, the PDP-1, was introduced in 1960.
The first video game, SPACEWAR!, was developed on the PDP-1. A team of
volunteers is restoring a PDP-1 at the Computer History Museum.

I for one would be just as happy if nobody sniped me on this. :/
(Incidentally, be aware that the shipping costs are, uhm, a bit more than
typical domestic U.S. shipping...)

Figures that the auction would get pointed out by someone right before
the end, I suppose... I wrote:

Grrrrr.
Ah, well. :(
(Incidentally, be aware that the shipping costs are,

Well, when the shipping cost is revealed to the new buyer, maybe they'll
reconsider and sell it to me instead. :) :)

I've shipped several things that weighed from 70 to just under 150 lbs
to residential addresses with FEDEX. All you have to do is *not* mark
the box that says "residential address" and they accept it, no
questions asked.
Trust me, I've done this before (and had to repack a box because it was
5-10lbs over their 150lb limit).

Menlo is another excellent shipper. I used them to ship the PDP-1 replica
I built to Japan. It got there in 5 days by air for less than $1,700.
This was two large crates.
They are very competitive, especially on international shipping. They
beat Fedex, UPS, and DHL hands down.
