I have been selling internationally on eBay since 2003. Including VAX/Alpha
hardware and CD distribnution kits. I do not understand what this
"anti-Ebay sentiment" is. If you want to sell it, and if it is
reasonable "shipable", just go ahead.

Have you done any investigations on eBay using part numbers and so on?
