Note: Article is cross-posted to several newsgroups.  Followups should go to
email.  This article is relevant to each of these newsgroups.  For a.f.c readers,
if you don't want to see the list of forsale items, just pree 'n' (if using a
standard newsreader).

The following equipment that is for sale is, unless noted, in good, working
condition; however, I make no claims regarding its suitability for any 
particular task of any sort.  All items sold AS-IS with no warranty express or
implied. All prices are negotiable unless marked 'firm' after the price.  I
cross-posted to alt.folklore.computers since most of this equipment will only
be of collector interest. Buyer agrees to pay shipping, terms COD. Prices listed
are prices per unit, unless otherwise noted.

Why am I selling all this collector's item equipment?  Simple: I'm getting
married in a few months, and need to get rid of all this stuff.  Believe you
me: I don't WANT to get rid of this stuff, it's just simply that there will be
no room when my wife-to-be moves in.

Traders take note:  I am interested in AT&T 3B1 equipment.  If you want rid of
a 3B1, boards, software, or other hardware, AND want something in this list,
make an offer.  I am also interested in 286 and above IBM-PC compatbiles.
