Even though I just tried bidding on a couple of ham radio items on
eBay with the usual result and the same bad taste in my mouth I
remember from the last time (back in 2007!!) I tried it I guess
eBay is the only answer.  I am getting some of those "if it fits
it ships" boxes from the USPS.  I will put up what I can fit in
one of those.  Not sure about the rest.

But, I will offer my StorageWorks cabinet the BA-whatever with the
two HSJ50's in it for anyone close enough to come and get it.  I
know they worked when I shut down the VAX 7000 Cluster but they have
not been powered up since then and I can not make any guarantees now.

Any takers?
