I am getting ready to put a bunch of DEC/DECUS-related
memorabilia on ebay. This includes coffee mugs, pens,
buttons, rulers, posters, and other convention "swag".
Some is from the estates of friends, some is mine.

Assuming that anyone even *wants* this stuff, what ebay
category would you look in to find it?

I am guessing that most DEC fans do their searching in
categories like "Computers & Networking" or "Vintage
Computing Products". But do DEC coffee mugs belong
there? Would you expect to find them in "Collectibles"
or "Pottery & Glass"?

If you are interested in such items, what categories
would you be looking in? What words should I use in the
titles and descriptions to help you find them amidst
the clutter? As you can tell, I've never sold anything
on ebay before. :-)

What search strings do *you* use to help you find the
DEC-related stuff you are looking for?

BTW, this is only the beginning, as I try to empty out
two 10' x 30' storage units.

Thanks,
Alan
