For people who are freaking out at the price, let me make two points crystal clear.
1) I do not need to sell this.
2) I know I'm asking a lot and if you bought it piece by piece it'd be much cheaper.
The price reflects that you will have it all at once. I have been purchasing BeOS software since before Be Inc closed and was sold to Palm Inc on Nov 12th 2001. This listing consists of extra copies of software and books that I have picked up over the years. Obviously I'm not selling the copies I personally purchased from Be Inc, but I don't need multiple copies. Realizing I had extras that constituted a near complete "retail" collection of BeOS software, I decided to list it all at once.
If you would rather spend years trying to track down and buying each of these items individually, you are more than welcome to do so. You will certainly pay less than this listing, however, who knows how long it will take you to find everything. If you choose do that, I wish you the best of luck finding everything.
This listing is specifically targeted at those people who are willing to pay for convenience, and contribute to the further development of Haiku. To repeat myself, I do not "need" to sell this. It costs me nothing to let it sit on my shelf collecting dust for another decade when BeOS items will be even harder to find.
Also, before anyone asks, I will not break up this set.
This will ship insured with signature confirmation for free anywhere in the United States. I am willing to ship internationally, but you will need to contact me so that I can determine the cheapest and most secure way to ship this to you. It will be at your cost, but I will make every effort to get as low of a price as I can while still ensuring that it will arrive safely and undamaged.
