I'm cleaning out my hobbyist machine room (not quite as extensive as
VAXman's VAXcave, but I'm getting there) and have run across several CDs
I don't need anymore or even never needed. These are layered products
(not OS), documentation, packages like "Internet Product Suite" etc
which I have accumulated over the years. I realise that the stuff is
quite dated (7 years old or so), but a) if one has, say, no
documentation CD at all, then an old CD might be preferable to none and
b) some people, for various reasons, are running an old version of VMS,
and thus might be interested in layered products and documentation from
the same timeframe.

Before I go to the trouble of posting a list, I'd like to get an idea if
anyone is potentially interested in this stuff. Since CDs are not
heavy, they could be sent by post anywhere in the world. I'd be happy
to send them to anyone who wants them in exchange for reimbursement of
the postage. I'm in Germany, so people from Germany or at least from
Europe would be preferable since otherwise the fees associated with
money transfer might be comparable to the amount of money being
transferred.

Which reminds me: I soon (next few weeks) plan to organise some way of
receiving payment for little or no cost to me or the other end since I
want to auction off a few things on Ebay (including an ALPHAserver 2000
and an ALPHAserver 2100). What do folks here recommend? PayPal seems
to be pretty common, but I've heard many negative things about it. (I'm
not talking big time here, so something like setting myself up to
receive credit-card payments is overkill; we're talking the equivalent
of a car-boot sale.)
