The finest & rarest artifacts and antiques
I need to get rid of some a̶c̶c̶u̶m̶u̶l̶a̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶c̶r̶a̶p̶ of the finest artifacts and antiques. Long overdue, I'm weeding out items which aren't the focus of my collection (my focus is IBM, ergonomic and Lisp) and have been sitting in boxes, unloved.

Freebies
You can pick a freebie with every order over 50 EUR. If the extra weight means extra shipping costs, you pay these costs, but I'll warn and inform you about the costs beforehand.
Choose from the Logitech trackballs below (not the black Kensington). All used and in different shapes of scruffy, probably needing ball bearing replacements. X = You're too late!
Payment methods
I accept payments by bank account transfer to my SEPA/IBAN account, by PayPal (payment costs are mine) or by Bitcoin (ask for details). If you want to use another service such as Xoom or Skrill, please contact me. I banned PayPal because they can't keep their hands off my money. If that's your only viable payment method and you really want something, maybe ask a friend here with both PayPal and IBAN to proxy the money to me.
Shipping costs
I can ship with the following companies. Worldwide shipping from the Netherlands. If you plan to buy and want an estimate of shipping costs, please calculate the costs using the following info and determine which company you want to use. As a rule of thumb, pick PostNL for small items which can be shipped as a letter or packages up to 2 kg, or in case of doubt for heavier packages. It has the widest network (possibly faster) and best tracking. Search the others for possibly a cheaper deal. If you pick a service without insurance, the risk of loss or damage is on you. All prices in Euro.
