Selling off large literature collection

After a lot of thought, I've decided to sell off my collection of computer 
literature. This collection consists of presskits, brochures, photos, 
catalogs, and other items. Much of this collection came from my years as an 
editor for publications such as BYTE and 80 Micro. The age ranges from the 
early 1970s through the 1990s, and includes everything from PDAs, micros, 
portables, minis, and mainframes. It also includes material on software, 
peripherals, online services, and misc. related paraphernalia. If you have 
my book, Collectible Microcomputers, most of the images in it were scanned 
from this material.

My plan is to sell it off piece by piece, and I'm giving list members first 
dibs. Pricing will be reasonable, below eBay rates. I do have a few rare 
items that I will need to get more for.

I do not have a list, but it's filed in a somewhat orderly fashion. If you 
send me your want list offline, I can get back to you quickly. I'm also 
traveling frequently through early May, which might slow my responses.

There is a catch. The reason I'm selling is that I'm going digital--it's a 
lot easier to manage everything that way. I plan to scan the items as I sell 
them. If you want a lot of items, it may take a little time for me to scan 
them.
