> I have a bunch in the basement that I can't seem to get rid of. No one bids on them. Sure, I'll buy sheet styrofoam and do a great job packing them--for $150 each. Add that to the price, plus the shipping cost and nobody will pay anything like what they should be worth. But it always has been tough getting anyone to take anything big and heavy--just try selling an old Model 28 TTY.?
