Default Loving geek gear needs new home

http://cgi6.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewSellersOtherItems&userid=kensai2000&include=0&since=-1&sort=3&rows=25

There comes a time in every geek's life when he has to take a look around and say "Gee whiz, I have a lot of tech gear that I don't use. I should sell it and get all new tech gear that I probably won't use either." It's part of the natural order of things. My friends, it's that time in my life. After moving into the new house a few months ago, and slowly getting my basement office organized, I've come to the frank realization that I have WAY too much gear that I don't use. It's fire sale time! Ashley and I spent many hours on Saturday, Sunday, and a few today putting up over 50 items on eBay.

All sorts of tech gear: D-Link Residental Gateway, Windows 2000, Windows XP Professional, Office XP Standard and Professional, both upgrades and full versions, Publisher 2002, FrontPage 2002, USB IrDA adaptor, Sandisk MultiMediaCard Reader, U.are.U biometric fingerprint scanner, iPAQ Stowaway keyboard, MARGI Presenter-to-Go PCMCIA card, Socket Digital Phone card for Samsung phones, Macromedia Flash 4, ANYCOM Bluetooth CF card, Adobe Acrobat 4.0, Casio CF digital camera, some older bSquare bundles (bUSEFUL, bPRODUCTIVE HPC, bPRODUCITVE Palm-size PC), 10 gig laptop hard drive, laptop RAM, and much more. Heck, there's even an NT 4.0 Terminal Server with a 10 client license!

The scary part is that I kept most of the review products for a Thoughts contest I'm planning - this is the "extra" stuff. My gear needs a new home, so go check it out - thanks!

You have no idea! And that's after already selling a whole car-load of stuff at a garage sale.

It's actually VERY cool - but since I'm the only person who uses my computer, it was of limited use. For a household with multiple people sharing a computer, this thing totally rocks.

I'm a HUGE Jars of Clay fan - I have everything they've ever released except the original Frail casette tape. This is an extra copy of Front Yard Luge - it's got a few cool songs on it, worth getting if you're a Jars fan.

Sorry to say this, but I hate you guyz :lol:

Really, I'm having a hard time finding stuff like a CF Lan card and a CF modem that is affordable. The only place I found it was at the UK (I live in Belgium) :
http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?...urce=CMQ-H3870

And now I see you start your bidding at 1 USD ?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=1362246750

I can't even find it on my local ebay (www.ebay.be) because hardly anybody uses a PDA over here

If it wouldn't be for those damn shipping prices, I would love to buy your stuff like BT cards, modems, lan cards, etc... ((

Well, don't let that stop you! :-) Most of the cards are very small and I doubt shipping would exceed $10 US on any of them, and if you bought more than one, shipping would be less. I've answered questions from several Europeans who are bidding. Heck, Canada is closer to you than the US is. ;-)

Yes, but there's also import costs. And those are also pretty expensive, i found that out when I bought my silver slider 2

Btw, wouldn't it be alot of trouble to ship it overseas ? and how would you get paid and who would arrange the UPS stuff etc? I'm really interested in alot of stuff , but the the fact that there's an extensive lot of water between us is kinda holding me back
