I've sold a lot of old stuff on EBay, not to make money but to force
others to bear the guilt of putting cool stuff in the E-waste bin.
Three that I think were actually used, for a while, were Atari 520 ST
and 1040 ST computers, complete with 14-inch monochrome (black and
white) 640x480 monitors.

Van,
The equipment is way too big to ship economically and not valuable
enough to someone to make shipping worth it. I may list them on
eBay as local pickup just to reach a wider audience though....

Just an observation: "too big to ship" is an opinion. You may well
be right, but it's also possible that a buyer might come along who
has a different view and is willing to pay for shipping at a cost
that you thought was too high.
A sale just requires a willing seller and a willing buyer, able to
agree on a price acceptable to both.
