All, Thanks for all your replies. I spent some time compiling a list of what I've found, and I've pasted it below (sorry for the length, but I was trying to be complete). I should note that many of the exteriors of the boxes are banged up, but almost all of the manuals (etc.) are in great condition. It's mostly Apple II stuff with a few Apple IIGS items as well.
I'm getting a feeling -- just a faint sense, you understand -- that eBay is not in favor on this list. That's fine by me, but please advise me how to go about selling these items otherwise. (Sorry I can't trade: this all started because I'm moving in a few months and I'm trying to *reduce* my stuff.) >From my perspective the beauty of eBay is that it gets me out of having to referee among multiple interested parties -- just my inquiry about Microbe got several expressions of interest, plus offers of money. I'm an honest guy and not trying to rip anybody off, and multiple private offers puts me in the awkward position of coordinating an auction in which I'm the one who stands to profit. At the same time I'm not excited about all the work (and fees) associated with putting together a bunch of individual listings. I really think it's great that this community emphasizes trades and is reluctant to attach 'official' prices to collectibles -- look what that's done to the comic book community -- but it does make it hard for someone who's looking to sell for a fair price. So: advice?
