As a matter of fact, after doing some simple research at arrl.org (doh!)
I found that a simple form will do it.

I appreciate all the answers and I'm now checking with ARAST (Amateur
Radio Ass. of the Southern Tier (NYS) as they have a ham fest coming up
this weekend. I'll check my options with them as well as put together a
list for this group.

My main concern with EBay is shipping, as some of this stuff is heavy,
to put it mildly; things like a couple of Hallicrafters Receivers &
transmitters, 2 pairs of Kenwood 599 Rx/Tx, a couple of old heathkit
Tx/Rx and test equip, plus...

Its a big list :-)

Thanks to everyone for answering my original post, and again, its
absolutely great to be back.
