Come one, come all, step right up folks! Get your antiques now!
Knowing as I do that this newsgroup is not generally for the posting of stuff
for profit, I apologize in advance. But this is a little different because I
don't expect to profit from this little venture. I recently posted an article
that I thought everyone would get a kick out of since I described some of the
stuff we'd found in our "dungeon" at Harvard's Science Center (this article has
spawned a massive thread of "how old is the oldest stuff YOU own?" postings).
In my original posting I said that the stuff was being offered to used equip.
dealers--which it was. They laughed. Loudly. And long. But I did receive as
followup to the posting some "uhhh, how much do ya want for that bit?" msgs.
so in the interest of keeping this stuff alive I'm posting the complete list
here. I'll take bids by email (timestamp will be used to determine the winner
in case two or more people bid on an item) or by phone.
Prices, you ask?
I want no more than what it will cost for me to ship/insure/handle the stuff to
your location (via UPS, Mail, Pony Express, whatever).
Terms, you ask?
Send me a check (payable to Harvard University) and I'll send the equipment.
Warranty, you ask? You Must Be Kidding. All items are "as-is"--if they work
you got a bargain. If not, don't send it back or I'll tell the postman "no
comprendo, senor" and lob it back to you. Some of this stuff has been sitting
for "awhile" and may require cleaning/repair.
I'm only doing this to preserve some valuable pieces of history--anything that
doesn't sell will most likely be shipped off to Boston's Computer Museum (I
already have an offer of help to carry it all over--you know who you are).
Let the barrage begin!
