NeXTsociety has been selling off loads of stuff and so has Rob but where is it all going? It seems to pop up here and on ebay and vanishes into the wilderness, never to be seen, documented or discussed again. There's been a lot of hardware and a few large lots that simply vanished and there hasn't been any sort of influx of curious new members.

Hopefully all to good homes. :D
Was interesting the NeXTworld collection I had seemed picked up by someone that buys lots of books and magazines. I asked if he/she had next and about a week later got a response back yes but that was it. Did not elaborate.
Today my ED floppies sold. Seemed this person buys ALOT on eBay. My guess not for NeXT but someone that can use ED floppies.
Most my core stuff has sold here to a few people that are into NeXT still.
Will be sad if I don't find a home for the printers and displays. Hate throwing stuff away but may come to that on bigger things no one wants.
Reminds me... need to find my two black NeXT based modems I have owned and never used. Purchased from Black Hole years and years ago as I think some apps offered cool telephony use with these modems. Maybe someone will want to tinker with them.
Slowly finding things as I clean house.
Was sad to decide to sell it all but was time.

Wait, you have the DSP modems? All I got is a black painted SupraFAX.

I forget and have to find them. Zyxel rings a bell for name.
No idea if was dsp or not.
If I ever find them, will have to see.

Hello! I'm a curious new member. I'm a retro tech enthusiast and have a large collection of all kinds of things - but just picked up my first bit of NeXT hardware after searching for a long time.
Nice to find this forum and see it full and active. I'm sure you'll hear more from me as my quest goes on!
