Nor do I...30 tons after Paterson, NJ.

I think the best solution is let a dealer buy the lot, do the dirty work
of hauling and storing, take some profit (yes, I know it hurts a lot of
you, but its the biz), and buy the spares on a per-piece basis.

Is any of it really rare, must-be-saved stuff? It seems that caches of
DEC stuff turn up all of the time.
