After a lot of thought, I have decided to part with my small NeXT collection. It has been sitting in my home office for the last couple of years and I almost never use it anymore. It should be in a new home where someone could appreciate it more than I.
I have to sell:
NeXT Station Color Non-ADB complete with keyboard, soundbox, mouse, Y-Cable. 32 MB RAM, 2 GB Seagate HDD. I replaced the PRAM battery and the cooling fan in 2009. Technically in top condition. Case in very nice condition, minor scratches on the cover, but nothing major. Soundbox has some scratches on the metal bezel, but in good working condition. Asking 400€
17" Megapixel Color Monitor: some scratches on the plastic. A bit dim, especially when compared with modern monitors, but still useable in indoor lighting conditions. Free with NeXT Station, otherwise 50€.
NeXT External SCSI CD-ROM Drive and cable in good working order and good condition. No visible scratches on the case. Asking 100€.
External SCSI Drive enclosure. Purchased new in 2009. Has a 4GB SCSI HD installed. Enclosure powers up, but drive fails. HD could be easily replaced. Can also take a SCSI CD-ROM. Asking 20€.
OpenSTEP 4.2 Install set complete. No manuals. Asking 50€.
NeXTSTEP 3.3 Install set complete with install manual. Asking 50€
NeXTSTEP Programming by Simson L. Garfinkel and Michael K. Mahoney. Asking 20€. (I purchased this book new as a college student 20 years ago.)
Mathematica Install disks. Free with NeXT Station. I tried to get an activation code from Wolfram, no luck. Maybe someone else would have better luck than I or could use the ED-Disks for something else.
I would prefer to sell the complete collection at once. It's a good starter collection for someone who wants to play with a NeXT computer, but doesn't want to shell out the big $$$ for a cube.
I would take 500€ for everything together. I prefer cash on pick up. That way I could demonstrate the computer and answer questions. These machines are very fragile, and I am not 100% confident that the HD would survive being shipped. If you are in central Germany, I could deliver it within about a 200 km radius from Göttingen. I would ask for gas money at cost.
I am willing to ship the computer. It may be more economical to not include the monitor. I estimate 60-70€ for the whole thing within Germany. International, a bit more. It would probably be three packages.
I posted some photos here:

I plan on putting everything up on that auction site that begins with 'e' and ends in 'y' in March if I do not find a buyer.
Please don't ask me about buying keyboards, Y-cables, sound boxes, or mice. The computer is much more difficult to sell without the peripherals.
Responding to a user question. I maintain a second apartment near Schweinfurt and would be willing to deliver for free around Schweinfurt or anywhere in between Göttingen and SW.
I am am very interested. PM sent.
Everything is sold. I still have a spare 17" megapixel color monitor. No guarantees that it works, as I have not used it since 2009. Free for anyone who wants to pick it up. Currently located in storage near Schweinfurt. I could transport it to Göttingen if need be.
