Getting out of collecting, mostly

After some soul searching, I've finally realised I really don't want to collect
anymore. No, it has nothing to do with anyone or anything that has happened
on this list, and because I'm keeping my Vax (to hopefully do useful work
for me) I'll still be here on this list. I've just realised that *having*
these machines doesn't do alot for me, and I don't seem to bother messing with
them very often.

So what this means is I'm beginning the process of liquidating my collection.
Ideally I'd like to sell to people in the Colorado Springs/Denver metro area
so shipping isn't as much of a pain, but we'll see how it goes.

The way I'm going to work this is: If you are interested in a piece, e-mail
me privately. I'll 1. Make sure the piece works. When my shelves got knocked
over a lot of hardware got dumped on the floor. 2. Negotiate a price with you.
3. Negotiate delivery methods with you. I'm not looking to turn a profit
on most of this stuff - I just want to get rid of it and see that it goes to
a good home.

What I have:

Apple2 GS #1. 8mb of Ram, ramfast SCSI, 120 meg (I think) SCSI disk
               (no enclosure for the disk) 1 3.5 inch apple floppy drive,
               1 5.25 inch apple floppy drive. 1 monitor.

Apple2GS #2 4mb of RAM, parallel card, 2 3.5 inch apple floppy drive,
               2 5.25 inch apple floppy drives. Monitor may work, but both
               the system and the monitor fell off the shelf they were on
               when a cat managed to push the shelves over.

Apple2E Enhanced apple2E ROMS, 64 K of RAM. Ramfast SCSI, 40 meg
               SCSI hard disk (no enclosure for disk) 2 5.25 inch apple floppy
               drives. 1 monitor. 1 kensington system saver.

Tiger Learning Computer - Not really a classic except that inside what looks
               like a laptop (but isn't - it has no integral screen) is
               an apple2C with cartrige drives. Hooks to your TV. This one
               amuses me a lot, so unlike the rest it will require significant
               cash to separate it from me.


Commodore 64 nasty looking, but works fine. New keyboard. Includes 1541
               floppy drive and new monitor cable. Squeeky clean inside,
               since I used its motherboard to verify that yes, washing them
               in the dishwasher IS ok.

Kaypro 4/84 Good condition, both drives work. Some software.

Misc Monitors one commodore monitor - barely works. 1 cga/ega (not sure which)
               might work, don't have the hardware to test it.

Misc 486 PC hardware - again, not quite classic, although I think the original
               486 might be by now.

Misc Apple2GS software - many titles old and new. New includes Orca C.
