I have about 3,000 3.5" floppies comprising a PC shareware collection downloaded from BBS's from the late 80s to early 90s, the bulk being from around 1992-1994.

I realize there is probably a lot of stuff here of historical interest, but I have no time to transfer it. I've transferred 20 or so just out of curiosity and the majority are shareware utilities and programs, with some games and a couple of commercial game demos, along with random stuff like images or text files.

If anyone in the Southern California area has an interest in transferring these, let me know. Otherwise I've found a place locally that will pay me $0.05 each for these.

I also considered eBaying them as media mail shipping is quite inexpensive, but don't know whether it would be worth the effort.

Sounds like BBS bulk!

Yeah, archive.org would be a good bet, but 3,000 individual disk images could be too cumbersome with their interface.

If anything else I would contact the http://www.computerhistory.org/ since you are in the same state maybe they could send someone out to collect the disks. Look at it as a chance to make a real meaningful contribution to society.
