More on govliquidation...

[Curt @ Atari Museum]

North American Van Lines is pretty decent on their pricing most of the 
time, they also are very good at handling open/loose items (I had an HP 
Designjet 2500CP shipped to me with just a shipping blanket over it and 
they treated it with kid gloves.)

Craters & Freighters are totally rip-off artists, avoid!

The other thing to do is ask around, seems a lot of people make runs up 
down the East Coast and Cross Country picking up/delivering Vintage 
Computer equipment and also look into the Classic Arcade Shippers as 
I've used them often to pick up stuff - doesn't matter if its a Pinball 
or a Honeywell - if they can bring it onto their trucks they'll do it 
for you, and generally a heck of a lot less then commercial freighters.
