Even More Stuff available

Whilst aware that I'm breaching netiquette by copying personal email, I
think in this situation that Chris won't mind, as he's trying to sell these
items. I can't afford the prices he's asking (I'm not saying they're BAD
prices, nor am I saying they're GOOD. I just can't afford 'em), and felt
that rather than waste the time of both of us by attempting to significantly
haggle-down, I'd let everyone have-at him.

Top part is his response to my letter in response to his newsgroup ad.

A guy said 10 days ago he would send $200 (plus shipping)
for the Unix docs, which I accepted, but I haven't seen the
check yet so maybe it will be available again.
The vic20 had a price.
I would like $250 for a stack of pdp11 hardware fisch.
$70 for a folding fisch reader.
How about $100 for H-11 doc 3-ring binders, and
$140 for the paper tape media software.  This is unused,
partly sealed.
$80 each for a couple rk05 packs containing rsx11m, rt11, ?
What do you think?
Rebate if you convert my 9-track unix tar tapes to CD or TR-3
tape (windoz).  Also, you can then keep the 9-tracks, contents
are probably interesting to you.

Hi
I'm a classic computer collector, very interested in your Heathkit items,
and also the RT-11 docs.  I have just aquired a PDP 11/23 PLUS, and would
love any documentation for that, too.  You don't list prices for these
items - if it helps, I offer a good home :)
Please let me know if these items are still available, and I'll try and make
a swift and easy transaction - if the price is right!
Cheers
